Abstract

People with dyslexia have been found to prefer spatial over verbal strategies when performing word-based syllogistic reasoning tasks that require self-generated responses. The current research investigated whether this was also the case for pictorially based syllogisms, when responses were required to either concrete or abstract stimuli, and when multiple-choice answers were presented. Adults with and without dyslexia, matched for non-verbal ability, were presented with sets of isomorphic reasoning problems in which the stimuli were either concrete words, abstract words, concrete shapes or abstract pictograms. As expected, there was no group difference in reasoning accuracy. Unlike previous findings, the adults with dyslexia preferred to use a mixed verbal and spatial strategy and performed better with this strategy, while the individuals without dyslexia preferred a verbal strategy and performed more successfully when employing this strategy. The provision of answer options to facilitate strategic change in individuals with dyslexia is discussed.

成人阅读障碍和三段论推理:策略使用的差异
有阅读障碍的人在进行基于单词的三段论推理任务时更喜欢空间策略,而不是口头策略,这些任务需要自我生成的反应。目前的研究调查了这是否也适用于基于图像的三段论,当反应被要求面对具体或抽象的刺激时,以及当提出多项选择答案时。在非语言能力匹配的情况下,有阅读障碍和没有阅读障碍的成年人被提出了一组同构推理问题,其中刺激是具体的单词,抽象的单词,具体的形状或抽象的象形图。正如预期的那样,在推理准确性方面没有组间差异。与之前的研究结果不同,患有阅读障碍的成年人更喜欢使用语言和空间混合策略,并且在使用这种策略时表现得更好,而没有阅读障碍的人更喜欢使用语言策略,并且在使用这种策略时表现得更成功。提供的答案选项,以促进战略变化的个人阅读障碍进行了讨论。

期刊介绍: DYSLEXIA provides reviews and reports of research, assessment and intervention practice. In many fields of enquiry theoretical advances often occur in response to practical needs; and a central aim of the journal is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of dyslexia, so that each can learn from the other. Interesting developments, both theoretical and practical, are being reported in many different countries: DYSLEXIA is a forum in which a knowledge of these developments can be shared by readers in all parts of the world. The scope of the journal includes relevant aspects of Cognitive, Educational, Developmental and Clinical Psychology Child and Adult Special Education and Remedial Education Therapy and Counselling Neuroscience, Psychiatry and General Medicine The scope of the journal includes relevant aspects of: - Cognitive, Educational, Developmental and Clinical Psychology - Child and Adult Special Education and Remedial Education - Therapy and Counselling - Neuroscience, Psychiatry and General Medicine
