Abstract: | Phonological dysgraphia is a writing impairment, characterized by marked disability to spell pronounceable pseudo-words as opposed to relatively mild reduction in ability to spell real words. Within the realm of Korean vocabulary, there are two categories of real words: pure Korean words and Chinese-derivative words. We present a patient with a history of CVA, resulting in phonological dysgraphia and, further, a dissociated performance in the aforementioned two categories of real words. It is suggested that the lexicon for pure Korean words is segregated from that for Chinese-derivative words. |
