| Research Abstract |
In the present research, we investigated the properties of Japanese developmental dyslexia using two types of approaches-behavioral and computational approaches. In experimental study, we confirmed the existence of the cases classified into developmental phonological dyslexia. Computational study showed that we should take into account children's learning environment of Kanji characters for successful simulation of Kanji word reading in primary school children. Moreover we verified the validity of the "hypothesis of granularity and transparency" that accounted for differences in the prevalence of developmental dyslexia between Japan and English-speaking countries by using the connectionist model for naming Kanji and Kana.
