1. Suppose someone close to you suffered a head injury that caused phonological dyslexia. What would you do to try to help this person read better? (It would probably be best to build on the person’s remaining abilities.) Suppose this person needed to learn to read some words that he or she had never seen before. How would you help the person to do so?
2. If a contestant in a boxing match manages to hit the other person’s head hard enough to cause him to fall to the ground, unconscious, he wins the match. Having read about the effects of traumatic brain injury, what do you think about competitions like these?
