This study reports a case of patient who showed a double dissociation between phonograms (kana) and ideograms (kanji) in Japanese. First, we examined her reading ability of single phonograms and single ideograms. Secondly, we evaluated her reading ability of single familiar words and non-words consisted of three phonograms. The prominent aspects of the patient's reading were as follows; 1) reading of single ideograms were intact, while reading of single phonograms were impaired, 2) reading of some familiar phonogramic words were successful, while misreading of familiar words and non-words were founded. Those findings were discussed in terms of a function of basal ganglia and reading model.
