A cognitive neuropsychological approach to developmental reading disorders : Behavioral and computational research.

在本研究中，我们使用两种类型的方法-行为和计算方法来研究日本发展性阅读障碍的特征。在实验研究中，我们证实了发育性语音阅读障碍病例的存在。计算研究表明，要成功模拟小学生汉字阅读，必须考虑到儿童对汉字的学习环境。此外，我们通过使用连接主义模型来命名汉字和假名，验证了“粒度和透明度假设”的有效性，该假设解释了日本和英语国家之间发展性阅读障碍流行率的差异。

In the present research, we investigated the properties of Japanese developmental dyslexia using two types of approaches-behavioral and computational approaches. In experimental study, we confirmed the existence of the cases classified into developmental phonological dyslexia. Computational study showed that we should take into account children's learning environment of Kanji characters for successful simulation of Kanji word reading in primary school children. Moreover we verified the validity of the "hypothesis of granularity and transparency" that accounted for differences in the prevalence of developmental dyslexia between Japan and English-speaking countries by using the connectionist model for naming Kanji and Kana.
