Visual and phonological processing of words: a comparison of good and poor readers.

At the beginning of the school year, 80 first graders, half receiving phonics instruction and half receiving whole word instruction, were asked to spell, read aloud, and recognize 60 regular and exception words. A standardized reading test and phoneme segmentation test were also administered. Those above grade level in reading excelled in phonological recording and application of grapheme-phoneme correspondence rules and were weaker in utilization of visual-orthographic knowledge. Those below grade level applied visual more than phonological coding and benefited from the visual-orthographic knowledge available in a clue word. Results support a continuum of visual and phonological analysis skills in first-grade reading consistent with Frith's (1985) logographic, alphabetic, and orthographic skill levels.

Complementarity between the styles of the patient's material and the interpretation.

This paper shows the importance of the characterization of the patterns of interaction between patient and analyst in the psychoanalytic process. These patterns are called "styles" and comprise both the patient's ways of offering his material and the analyst's ways of receiving it, as well as the linguistic characteristics of his interpretations. Different styles in the psychoanalytic dialogue are exposed and correlated with specific ego states, anxieties, and mechanisms of defense. A new stylistic nosography is proposed, correlated with a communicational nosography and the classical psychiatric psychopathological states. A clinical sample of a psychoanalytic session is presented.
