The processing of single characters in a pure alexic patient was studied in an attempt to identify the impairment responsible for his reading disorder. Observations from Experiments 1 to 4 suggested a deficit of identification of alphanumeric stimuli without any impairment affecting the elaboration of a structural description of visual stimulation. Experiment 5 indicated that the identification disorder results from a defect in the selective processes--activation and/or inhibition--that must come into play for achieving an appropriate match between a structural description of the stimulation and representations of the identities of known stimuli. The possible implications of this deficit in single-character identification for word reading are discussed.
