“…The importance of understanding these speech processes in both normal and disordered population has been emphasized in recent literature and a clearer picture of how the phonetic characteristics of utterances impacts verbal production (i.e., reading, picture naming and/or repetition) is now emerging (Bose & Van Lieshout, 2008;Goldrick & Blumstein, 2006;Maner, Smith, & Grayson, 2000;Sadagopan & Smith, 2008;Silverberg, Vigliocco, Insalaco, & Garrett, 1998;Smith & Goffman, 2004). A case study which examines the ability to read words aloud while manipulating both the production complexity of the words and the semantic context revealed a strong interaction between word complexity and semantic blocking for reading aloud but not for repetition (Bose, Colangelo, & Buchanan, 2011). Many (Hildebrandt & Sokol, 1993;Katz & Lanzoni, 1992 have established that implicit phonological knowledge contributes to word recognition performance in deep dyslexic patients.…”
