Mental Lexicon, Working Memory and L2 (English) Vocabulary in Polish Students with and without Dyslexia by Marta Łockiewicz, Martyna Jaskulska

“…We found that students with dyslexia exhibited deficits in the speed of access to data from the mental lexicon. The predictive function of memory for vocabulary was more conspicuous in the control group; in the criterion group, the result might constitute a risk factor for L2 vocabulary acquisition in dyslexia, which may manifest with increased proficiency in word knowledge. …”
