One of the main sources of information regarding the underlying processes involved in both normal and impaired reading has been the study of reading deficits that occur as a result of brain damage. However, patterns of reading deficits found acutely after brain injury have been little explored. The observed patterns of performance in chronic stroke patients might reflect reorganization of the cognitive processes underlying reading or development of compensatory strategies that are not normally used to read. Method: 112 acute left hemisphere stroke patients were administered a task of oral reading of words and pseudowords within 1–2 days of hospital admission; performance was examined for error rate and type, and compared to that on tasks involving visual lexical decision, visual/auditory comprehension, and naming. Results: Several distinct patterns of performance were identified. Although similarities were found between the patterns of reading performance observed acutely and the classical acquired dyslexias generally identified more chronically, some notable differences were observed. Of interest was the finding that no patient produced any pure semantic errors in reading, despite finding such errors in comprehension and naming.

急性中风的阅读表现模式：描述性分析。

关于正常和受损阅读所涉及的潜在过程的主要信息来源之一是对由于脑损伤导致的阅读障碍的研究。然而，很少探索脑损伤后急性发现的阅读障碍模式。在慢性中风患者中观察到的表现模式可能反映了阅读的认知过程的重组或通常不用于阅读的补偿策略的发展。方法：对112名急性左半球脑卒中患者在入院后1-2天内进行单词和伪词的口读任务；检查错误率和类型的性能，并与涉及视觉词汇决策、视觉/听觉理解和命名的任务进行比较。结果：确定了几种不同的性能模式。尽管在急性观察到的阅读表现模式与通常更长期识别的经典获得性阅读障碍之间发现了相似之处，但观察到了一些显着差异。有趣的是发现没有患者在阅读中产生任何纯粹的语义错误，尽管在理解和命名中发现了此类错误。
