The relation of reversals (e.g., d for b) with developmental dyslexia was examined.

  • Children performed orientation-based and shape-based tasks on letters and shapes.
    • Controls but not dyslexics had worse shape-based judgments of mirror (e.g., d – b) than identical pairs.
  • For rotated pairs (e.g., d – p), dyslexics behave as controls in both tasks.
  • Dyslexics fail to automatize mirror discrimination during visual object processing.
