Fundamental to this monograph is an attempt to understand the nature of individual difference in word and nonword reading by connecting three literatures that have developed largely in isolation from one another - the literature on acquired sdyslexia, difficulties in learning to read, and precocious reading. These literatures and studies of both developmental dyslexia and garden variety poor reading in children are examined to show how careful attention to methodological and conceptual issues can highlights similarities and differences across this diverse group of readers.

The journal Cognitive Neuropsychology began publication in 1984. In 2004 a special symposium was held at the annual European Workshop on Cognitive Neuropsychology at Bressanone to take stock of the developments in cognitive neuropsychology represented by the first twenty volumes of the journal, and this book is the result. In the book, prominent cognitive neuropsychologists provide state-of-the-art overviews of what cognitive neuropsychology has told us about the normal mechanisms of conceptual representation, spoken word production, the comprehension and construction of...
