The Brain Connectome for Chinese Reading. [PDF]
Neurosci Bull, 2022 Chinese, as a logographic language, fundamentally differs from alphabetic languages like English. Previous neuroimaging studies have mainly focused on alphabetic languages, while the exploration of Chinese reading is still an emerging and fast-growing research field. Recently, a growing number of neuroimaging studies have explored the neural circuit of

The influence of cognitive ability in Chinese reading comprehension: can working memory updating change Chinese primary school students’ reading comprehension performance? [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 With the development of educational cognitive neuroscience, language instruction is no longer perceived as mechanical teaching and learning. Individual cognitive proficiency has been found to play a crucial role in language acquisition, particularly in ...

Music reading experience modulates eye movement pattern in English reading but not in Chinese reading [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Here we tested the hypothesis that in Chinese-English bilinguals, music reading experience may modulate eye movement planning in reading English but not Chinese sentences due to the similarity in perceptual demands on processing sequential symbol strings

The Trade-Off Between Format Familiarity and Word-Segmentation Facilitation in Chinese Reading [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 In alphabetic writing systems (such as English), the spaces between words mark the word boundaries, and the basic unit of reading is distinguished during visual-level processing.

The influence of contextual constraint and word length on eye movement control during Chinese reading [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyGiven that Chinese text lacks explicit spaces to mark word boundaries, readers need to segment the continuous text into words of varying lengths. Contextual information helps determine word boundaries in Chinese reading.

The role of format familiarity and semantic transparency in Chinese reading: evidence from eye movements [PDF]
BMC PsychologyUnlike alphabetic language, Chinese is an ideographic language that does not contain spaces between words. Chinese readers must develop unique segmentation strategies for word recognition and reading comprehension.
