Word length coding in neglect dyslexia.
Single word reading was examined in two patients with left visual neglect. Both patients showed preservation of word length, which is the salient feature of neglect dyslexia. By varying lexical and contextual parameters we could, however, induce responses considerably shorter or longer than the stimuli. The findings are relevant to current accounts of neglect dyslexia.
