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 ...

Handwriting serves to link auditory and motor routines with visual word processing, which is a hallmark of successful reading. The current study aims to explore the effect of multisensory integration as a pathway to neural specialization for print among ...

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

Extant research has largely favored the Split Fovea Theory (SFT) over the Bilateral Projection Theory (BPT) in the context of foveal word recognition. SFT posits that during foveal fixation, letters in the left and right visual fields are projected to ...

Introduction The right fusiform face area (FFA) is important for face recognition, whereas the left visual word fusiform area (VWFA) is critical for word processing.

Phonological awareness of bilinguals in visual word recognition
The present study, in which the phonological awareness of bilinguals and the temporal characteristics of written word recognition are studied with mixed language lexical decision tests, is a part of a larger-scale research.

Magnocellular training improves visual word recognition
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 ...

EEG has been central to investigations of the time course of various neural functions underpinning visual word recognition. Recently the steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) paradigm has been increasingly adopted for word recognition studies due ...

Visual attention span as a predictor of reading fluency and reading comprehension in Arabic
IntroductionVisual attention span is a measure of multielement parallel processing. Individuals with higher visual attention span are expected to allocate more attention to letters within strings, which boosts letter identification and translates into ...

Letter legibility and visual word recognition [PDF]
Word recognition performance varies systematically as a function of where the eyes fixate in the word. Performance is maximal with the eye slightly left of the center of the word and decreases drastically to both sides of this optimal viewing position.
