| Summary: | The Contribution of James Hinshelwood to the Comprehension of Acquired and Developmental Reading Disturbances – This paper describes the work of James Hinshelwood, a British ocular surgeon at the turn of the 19th Century who analyzed a large number of cases of acquired dyslexia and then of develop-mental disturbances. Hinshelwood’s theoretical framework associates the developmental disorder for type (if not severity) with that shown by patients with pure alexia without agraphia or word blindness. During the 20th century, the notion that the developmental disorder has a visual basis progressively lost ground in favour of interpretations emphasizing the perturbation of both phonological and lexical central processes. Here we propose that Hinshelwood’s hypothesis of continuity between developmental dyslexia and word blindness deficits should be reconsidered on the basis of behavioural and recent functional neuroimaging data. |
