Summary Excerpt Details

For review, the author has chosen the model study she is imitating for my dissertation. She is working with a struggling writer displaying many characteristics of a dysgraphic; however, my single case study participant suffers from developmental dysgraphia which may subside as the child matures, whereas the adult dysgraphic in the model study experienced acquired dysgraphia after he had contracted encephalitis.

The procedures include description and clinical supervision of a small number of cases (here: a single case) in great detail, with the purpose of identifying basic elements, processes, etc. underlying the target behavior of the case subject. Both the model study and my dissertation are experimental studies to assess a proposed treatment for the diagnosed dysgraphia.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This study investigates the effectiveness of a visual imagery strategy in re-educating a patient with surface dysgraphia. The researchers aimed to determine whether their proposed strategy could successfully address the patient's orthographic difficulties. The study focuses on the cognitive processes involved in writing and examines the potential of visual imagery to enhance the patient's ability to access and retrieve word spellings.

  • Cognitive neuropsychology of dysgraphia
  • Re-education strategies for dysgraphia
  • Visual imagery and its role in word retrieval
  • Single-case studies and their relevance to clinical practice
  • The role of orthographic representations in written language production

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

  • Introduction: Introduces the case study and its relevance to the field of dysgraphia research. The authors explain their chosen research approach and its relationship to the case study methodology. They also introduce the specific challenges and limitations of the case study.
  • Research Question and Hypothesis: Presents the research question and hypothesis of the study. The authors explore whether the visual imagery strategy they proposed can effectively re-educate the patient's writing abilities. They suggest that the patient may have experienced a loss of orthographic representations for certain words.
  • Literature Review: Provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on dysgraphia and its treatment. The authors examine previous studies that have investigated the cognitive mechanisms underlying dysgraphia, exploring different approaches to re-education. They highlight the importance of understanding both impaired and preserved cognitive processes in designing effective interventions.

Schlüsselwörter (Keywords)

This study focuses on surface dysgraphia, visual imagery, cognitive neuropsychology, single-case studies, orthographic representations, re-education, and therapeutic interventions.
