Hyphenation can improve reading in acquired phonological dyslexiaFootnote

Parts of this paper were based on work reported by David A. O’Mara in his undergraduate thesis at the University of Dundee. We are indebted to Dr Allan Ward, GP, for his summary of JD’s medical history. Most of all, we are grateful to JD, who was always a most willing and cheerful participant. We thank Lynne Duncan, Nadine Martin, and Tim Shallice for their comments.
