Description

Research conducted by Professor Richard Wagner and his colleague Professor Joseph Torgesen has been fundamental in our understanding of the importance of phonological processing deficits in diagnosing dyslexia. Their large scale concurrent and longitudinal studies of reading development demonstrated the importance of three clear aspects of phonological subgroups which are vital in developing the ability to read. Their research demonstrated the essential role played by phonological awareness in discriminating and manipulating the speech sound of letters in words; the importance of the phonological processing subskill of rapid automatised naming, which assesses the speed and efficiency with which phonological representations are retrieved from long-term memory; and the role of phonological memory in the coding of information as speech sound representations for temporary storage in short-term working memory. The results of their studies are demonstrated in the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing 2nd edition (CTOPP-2) and in the Test of Word Reading Efficiency 2nd edition (TOWRE-2).
