Reading and Literacy Development

The paper investigates neuronal representations of letters and letter strings in macaque monkeys and shows that IT cortex can support orthographic processing tasks similar to baboon behavior.

This paper investigates brain dynamics during irregular word reading in svPPA patients, showing increased reliance on the dorsal route when the ventral route is damaged.

This study investigates brain dynamics during grapheme-phoneme learning in adults using MEG, finding dynamic changes in multi-sensory processing and memory encoding.

The paper identifies factors predicting better reading outcomes in kindergarten children at risk for dyslexia, focusing on neural, cognitive-linguistic, and socioeconomic factors.

This study identifies the specialization of phonological and semantic processing in early childhood using fMRI and pattern analysis, showing left hemisphere phonological and bilateral parietal semantic activation.

This paper finds atypical inter-subject correlation (ISC) in dyslexic individuals during speech listening, linked to reading-related measures and suggesting neural processing differences.

This study identifies distinct neural activation patterns in pre-readers with a family history of dyslexia who later develop typical reading skills, suggesting protective mechanisms may be present before reading onset.

The paper demonstrates that prior visual-orthographic knowledge optimizes visual word representations, improving reading efficiency by focusing on relevant visual information.

The paper shows that silent reading involves articulatory processing at the single-phoneme level, as evidenced by correlations between fixation durations and vocal transition durations during pseudoword reading.

The paper shows that reading increases the compositionality of visual word representations by comparing readers and nonreaders in two Indian languages.

The paper identifies genetic associations with subtypes of reading disability using latent profile analysis in a sample of Hispanic American and African American youth.

The paper investigates how parallel spatial channels of visual processing converge into a serial bottleneck for word recognition using fMRI.

This paper investigates context-based facilitation in visual word recognition, finding facilitation at visual and lexical levels but not pre-lexical or top-down.

The paper conducts a GWAS to identify genetic variants associated with a cognitive predictor of dyslexia, finding significant associations with variants near MIR924HG and NKAIN3.

The paper investigates whether word reading is automatic by examining N400 amplitudes in a PRP paradigm, finding attentional modulation of orthographic neighborhood effects.

The paper investigates how valence impacts early visual processing of letter strings using ERPs in a cross-modal learning paradigm, finding early emotion effects only for visually acquired stimuli.

This study examines how word selectivity in visual cortex relates to reading skill, finding that skilled readers show stronger word selectivity over objects.

This study shows that reading proficiency develops with increased informativeness of distributed left lateral ventral temporal cortex responses to words and characters.

The paper investigates whether ERP correlates of masked priming reflect lexical processing by showing that neural activity associated with lexical processing depends on the task, not the target type.

The paper investigates how saccadic eye movements influence cortical activity during a word recognition task, finding left-lateralized effects beyond visual stimulation alone.

The paper shows that reading disability profiles can be reliably identified from incomplete behavioral data using Random Forest classification after multiple imputation with missForest.

This study conducts a meta-analysis of DTI studies on dyslexia and finds no reliable white matter differences between dyslexics and typical readers after correction for multiple comparisons.

The paper investigates cortical adaptation dynamics in dyslexia using fMRI, finding widespread faster decay of adaptation effects, particularly in the left superior temporal lobe.

This study investigates white matter differences in dyslexia and dyscalculia using diffusion tensor imaging and Bayesian hypothesis testing, finding no significant group differences in specific tracts.

This paper explores how developmental dyslexia may arise from impaired brain rhythms during speech and reading tasks, linking genetic factors to neural oscillations and potential diagnostic applications.

This study shows dyslexics have faster neural adaptation to sounds, leading to noisier predictions and longer reading times.
