Abstract: The mental mechanism of developmental dyslew was investigated using character decision task and homophone decision task.The result showed that in the character decision task,there was no significant difference between developmental dyslexic children and normal children;while in the homophone task,the difference was significant.The present paper suggested that developmental dyslexic children have no deficit in orthographical representation of the whole character and that phonological representation deficit is the main cause of developmental dyslexia.
