Although anecdotal reports of loss of once-acquired reading ability
was noticed in the individuals who had sustained brain damage as
early as the year AD. 30, systematic enquires of alexia were not
undertaken until the latter part of the nineteenth century. The two
anatomo-pathological studies carried out by Dejerine in 1891 and
1892 mark the beginning of scholarly investigation of reading
failure. Interestingly, the study of de velopmental reading
disability also began to receive attention at about the same time
when Pringle Morgan described the case of a 14-year-old boy who had
great difficulty in reading and writing. Since then sporadic
reports of developmental reading-writing failure began to appear in
medi cal and educational journals even though such investigation
went on at an unhurried pace. In the past two decades, however, the
situation has changed enormously and hundreds of articles that have
investigated developmental and acquired cognitive disabilities have
been published. Disorders of spoken language and written language
are two areas that have been extensively addressed by these
articles. Those who study disorders of language come from a wide
variety of backgrounds and their reports are also published in a
variety of journals. The purpose of the present volume is to bring
some important research findings of written language disorders
together and present them in a coherent format. In Chapter 1, Joshi
and Aaron challenge the validity of the notion of the putative
"poor speller but good reader'."
