Familiarity with words modulates interhemispheric interactions in visual word recognition [PDF]
Bilateral redundancy gain (BRG) indicates superior performance in bilaterally presented word recognition in the left and right visual fields (RVFs) relative to word recognition given in either the left or the RVF. The BRG may be modulated by participants’

Evidence of Serial Processing in Visual Word Recognition. [PDF]
To test the limits of parallel processing in vision, we investigated whether observers can recognize two words at once. Observers viewed brief, masked pairs of words and were instructed in advance to judge both of the words (dual-task condition), or just one of the words (single-task condition). For judgments of semantic category, the dual-task deficit

Breaking the boundaries: the power of ligatures in visual-word recognition [PDF]
IntroductionCurrent neurobiological-inspired models of visual-word recognition propose that letter detectors in the word recognition system can tolerate some variations in the visual form of the letters.

AbstractUnderstanding the mechanisms underlying skilled reading is at the center of modern psycholinguistics, and has been a topic of considerable interest since the beginnings of psychology as a scientific discipline. This article considers some of the theoretical and empirical issues that have shaped our understanding of one specific aspect of ...

Effect of Handwriting on Visual Word Recognition in Chinese Bilingual Children and Adults [PDF]
In a digital era that neglects handwriting, the current study is significant because it examines the mechanisms underlying this process. We recruited 9- to 10-year-old Chinese children (n = 24), who were at an important period of handwriting development,

Reduction or enhancement? Repetition effects on early brain potentials during visual word recognition are frequency dependent [PDF]
Most studies on word repetition have demonstrated that repeated stimuli yield reductions in brain activity. Despite the well-known repetition reduction effect, some literature reports repetition enhancements in electroencephalogram (EEG) activities ...

Contributions of hemispheric dynamics in visual word recognition: uncovering familiarity effects through lateralized priming [PDF]
IntroductionThis investigation aimed to explore interhemispheric interactions in visual word processing with a focus on proficiency development. Given the asymmetrical specialization in visual word processing across hemispheres, the study hypothesized ...

Temporal Integration in Visual Word Recognition [PDF]
Abstract When two displays are presented in close temporal succession at the same location, how does the brain assign them to one versus two conscious percepts? We investigate this issue using a novel reading paradigm in which the odd and even letters of a string are presented alternatively at a variable rate. The results reveal a window

Magnocellular training improves visual word recognition [PDF]
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 ...

An orthographic prediction error as the basis for efficient visual word recognition
Most current models assume that the perceptual and cognitive processes of visual word recognition and reading operate upon neuronally coded domain-general low-level visual representations – typically oriented line representations.
