Publication date: Available online 23 November 2018Source: Journal of NeurolinguisticsAuthor(s): Simritpal Kaur Malhi, Tara Lynn McAuley, Brette Lansue, Lori BuchananAbstractThe purpose of this case study was to test the failure of inhibition theory of deep dyslexia (FIT; Buchanan, McEwen, Westbury, & Libben, 2003) with concrete and abstract words. FIT proposes that in deep dyslexia, errors to abstract words are the result of an impairment in phonological output lexicon selection rather than a semantic deficit for abstract words. FIT also proposes a dissociation between explicit phonological lexicon production (can be compromised) and implicit access of representations (is intact). With such assumptions it follows that in phonologically implicit tasks where controls demonstrate either conc...
