JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of the present study was to clarify the relation between dyslexia and the ability to do phonological transformation. In order to investigate phonological transformation processes, 3 boys with dyslexia (one 2nd grader, one 5th grader, and one in first year of middle school) and 39 elementary school children without dyslexia (19 boys, 20 girls; 11 first graders, 17 second graders, 11 third graders) were instructed to recognize target hiragana words presented tachistoscopically. The target presentation times were 20ms, 80ms and 140ms. The children without dyslexia showed increased correct recognition with increasing age and increasing presentation time. Although all 3 of the boys with dyslexia had lower recognition at the shorter target presentation times in comparison with the other children, their percentage of recognition at the longest target presentation time was similar to or higher than the third grade children without dyslexia. These results suggest that the problem of children with dyslexia whose performance is low stems from phonological transformations. The results also suggest the necessity of more deliberate consideration when educating children with dyslexia.View full abstractDownload PDF (728K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn Japan, no research has been done in order to develop specific and systematized techniques for ameliorating behavior disorders. The present paper reviews research using behavioral approaches to study people with severe behavior disorders, clarifies the process of development of the behavioral theories and techniques in those studies, discusses the development of new methodology, and describes related future issues in Japan. In the 1960s, behavioral techniques for use with persons with severe behavior disorders were limited to aversive control; since then, the degree of aversiveness has been lowered. In the 1980s, functional assessment was developed; after that, it became possible to shape appropriate behavior and thereby reduce behavior disorders. Recently, the focus has shifted from a reduction in behavior disorders, to an improvement of other aspects of the person's life, using positive behavior support and a molar approach. In the future in Japan, more opportunities for training in behavioral approaches should be established, and behavior support should focus on a community-based life. Improvements in the quality of life resulting from use of a behavioral approach should be evaluated by objective indicators.View full abstractDownload PDF (1321K) -
