Recovery curves in acquired dyslexia.

Abstract The course of spontaneous recovery from acquired dyslexia was studied over a period of many months in 3 patients with cerebral lesions. The decrease in reading errors on repeated retesting with two sets of material, varying in difficulty level, is plotted; and rate of recovery curves are fitted to the data point so obtained. We suggest that knowledge of such patterns of change is relevant to the design and evaluation of remedial programmes.
