Sažetak
Due to the high occurrence and decisive impact literacy has on learning and academic achievement, dyslexia instigated a large number of different causal theories. There is a widespread agreement that the core deficit of dyslexia is phonological, though not what is the nature of this deficit. This study aimed to describe phonological deficit in children with dyslexia in Croatian within the phonological theory of dyslexia that proposes a dichotomy between phonological representations and phonological skills. Since phonological system includes segmental, but also rhythmical and prosodic features which can have discriminative role and dissociate lexical units, study examined both, segmental and suprasegmental level. To investigate phonological representations AX task was used, while for the phonological skills sequence recall task developed by Dupoux et al. (2001) was used which ensured that speakers used abstract mental representations of phonological features and not direct acoustical cues. The analysis showed significant differences between the groups in both tasks. Interaction between the condition and the group in the AX task indicates differences between segmental and suprasegmental phonological representations where participants with dyslexia showed bigger deficit in the suprasegmental condition. Significant differences in the SRT task showed difficulties in phonological skills in participants with dyslexia regardless of the condition. Contrary to the expectation of the phonological theory posed by Ramus et al. (2013), this study showed that both phonological representations and phonological skills are affected in dyslexia.
