	'''Pure Alexia''' is also known as acquired Alexia. Patients with this form of Alexia have the ability to write and spell words. Language functions normally, with often difficulty of retrieving words. This form of Alexia can be a result of lesions to the brain that block input from the visual cortex to the left gyrus.

	'''Surface Alexia''' is characterized by the inability to distinguish between homophonic words such as pair and pear.

	'''Phonological Alexia''' causes disadvantages in the recognition of preposition and conjunctions compared to nouns.

	'''Deep Alexia''' causes a semantic paralysis when reading out loud. For example when reading lawyer the patient might actually say attorney or when reading cold the they might say hot. Deep Alexia can cause a profound disturbance in pronounceable non-words. Almost all parts of speech are affected by this condition. Lesions associated with Deep Alexia are typically extensive, including frontal and extending posteriorly left lobe.		'''Deep Alexia''' causes a semantic paralysis when reading out loud.
