The continuum of deep/phonological alexia.

Abstract
Two patients exhibited all the characteristics of deep alexia shortly following brain injury. Both subsequently recovered some reading abilities and evolved to show a pattern of oral reading consistent with phonological alexia. These findings suggest that deep alexia and phonological alexia share common underlying deficits that are mediated by common neurological systems. A two-deficit psycholinguistic model is presented to account for the apparent continuity between deep alexia and phonological alexia.
