Yes, for the first reflexive impression it might seem to be true but it is very far from true.
If it was an academic study as claimed, and if that academic study concluded that the first and last letters/ vowels are only needed in the correct place to read words as integrated wholes, then I do have strong refutations from the dictionary.

When I went back home the power was cut and it was black.
I had a pit of tar and when I turned back I turned black.
With a hand covered in tar I picked up a stick but it was stuck to my hand, had I not fallen into the pit I cud have put the stick back.
When the lights came back I was told that the whole block was out due an out of order high tension transformer.

That previous paragraph (well spelt) contains the following sets of words:
Back, Black, Block.
Pit, Put.
Stuck, Stick
Now scrambling them as suggested produces:
Bcak, Balck, and Bolck.
Pit, and Put are stubborn to change. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Sutck and Sitck.
It is evident that it is false that the first and last letters alone should be in place to ease the reading of a word as a whole.
Extra effort shall be done to unscramble the correct group of the correctly spelled words.
Reading involves mental “sounds” recollection.
Consider reading “Shock Sphere” and Shakespeare”.
Drumstick and Dimstruck, which have two completely different meanings, with the “Stick of the drum” and the “Struck Dimly” concepts, should expose to you a counterargument.
I may not recall many of the sets of letters from which many phrases could be formed but there are such beasts.
This said I have to doubt that any academic responsible faculty could have endorsed that crap.
Nevertheless, there was merit in realising that the human brain powers of correction could do what seem to be miraculous feats.
I only issue I care to clarify here that it is false that bad spelling does not matter or that scrambled word order do not matter. They DO matter.
