Computational approaches to normal and impaired spelling

This volume contains contributions from researchers at the forefront of cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics and psycholinguistics, neuropsychology, computational approaches, connectionism and educational research. The key issues covered include: the diversity and evolution of writing systems; spelling in different languages and orthographies; information-processing models of spelling; representations and strategies; dual route models of spelling; analyses of spelling errors and latencies; computational models of spelling; connectionist approaches; representational issues and the sequential nature of spelling; spelling acquisition; developmental stages and causal transitions; interactions between spelling and reading acquisition; abnormal spelling processes in developmental and acquired dyslexia, deafness, hyperlexia, and other syndromes; spelling instruction and remediation; and computer-based remedial methods.
