Sensitivity to Sonority for Print Processing in Normal Readers and Dyslexic Children

We investigated sonority effects on letters cohesion and possible implicit segmentation for printed CVCCVs in French. Adult readers, dyslexic children and control children had to recall the color of target letters in briefly presented two-coloured pseudowords. The distribution of colours was either...
