Syllable priming with pseudowords in the lexical decision task.
Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie expérimentale, 2013 This study investigated the processes underlying the effect of masked syllable priming in French with pseudoword primes and word targets. Two lexical-decision task (LDT) experiments examined whether the syllable priming effect depends on syllable frequency and might rely on a general abstract structure.

Magnocellular training improves visual word recognition
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 Current research has shown that the magnocellular system may play a crucial role in reading deficits related to dyslexia. The current study explored the relationship between magnocellular activity and reading abilities; we examined the hypothesis that a ...
