Wang, Fang; Nguyen, Quynh Trang H.; Kaneshiro, Blair; Hasak, Lindsey; Wang, Angie M.; Toomarian, Elizabeth Y.; Norcia, Anthony M.; McCandliss, Bruce D. – Developmental Science, 2023
There are multiple levels of processing relevant to reading that vary in their visual, sublexical, and lexical orthographic processing demands. Segregating distinct cortical sources for each of these levels has been challenging in EEG studies of early readers. To address this challenge, we applied recent advances in analyzing high-density EEG…
