Abstract

Two case studies of subjects suffering from severe developmental constructional apraxia are presented. These two subjects demonstrated normal to high ability in reading, writing and arithmetical tests. The analysis of cognitive tests performed by them indicates that extreme developmental, perceptual, spatial and motor deficits may be dissociated from the acquisition of efficient reading ability.
