    "title": "Sound-Symbolism is Disrupted in Dyslexia: Implications for the Role of\nCross-Modal Abstraction Processes",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Research into sound-symbolism has shown that people can\nconsistently associate certain pseudo-words with certain referents;\nfor instance, pseudo-words with rounded vowels and\nsonorant consonants are linked to round shapes, while pseudowords\nwith unrounded vowels and obstruents (with a noncontinuous\nairflow), are associated with sharp shapes. Such\nsound-symbolic associations have been proposed to arise from\ncross-modal abstraction processes. Here we assess the link between\nsound-symbolism and cross-modal abstraction by testing\ndyslexic individuals’ ability to make sound-symbolic associations.\nDyslexic individuals are known to have deficiencies\nin cross-modal processing. We find that dyslexic individuals\nare impaired in their ability to make sound-symbolic associations\nrelative to the controls. Our results shed light on the cognitive\nunderpinnings of sound-symbolism by providing novel\nevidence for the role —and disruptability— of cross-modal abstraction\nprocesses in sound-symbolic e?ects.",
