Fang Wang; Blair Kaneshiro; Elizabeth Y. Toomarian; Radhika S. Gosavi; Lindsey R. Hasak; Suanna Moron; Quynh Trang H. Nguyen; Anthony M. Norcia; Bruce D. McCandliss – Developmental Science, 2024
Learning to read depends on the ability to extract precise details of letter combinations, which convey critical information that distinguishes tens of thousands of visual word forms. To support fluent reading skill, one crucial neural developmental process is one's brain sensitivity to statistical constraints inherent in combining letters into…

Mahalakshmi Ramamurthy; Alex L. White; Jason D. Yeatman – Developmental Science, 2024
In the search for mechanisms that contribute to dyslexia, the term "attention" has been invoked to explain performance in a variety of tasks, creating confusion since all tasks do, indeed, demand "attention." Many studies lack an experimental manipulation of attention that would be necessary to determine its influence on task…

Zou, Lijuan; Xia, Zhichao; Zhang, Wei; Zhang, Xianglin; Shu, Hua – Developmental Science, 2022
While the close relationship between the brain system for speech processing and reading development is well-documented in alphabetic languages, whether and how such a link exists in children in a language without systematic grapheme-phoneme correspondence has not been directly investigated. In the present study, we measured Chinese children's…

Aboud, Katherine S.; Bailey, Stephen K.; Petrill, Stephen A.; Cutting, Laurie E. – Developmental Science, 2016
Skilled reading depends on recognizing words efficiently in isolation ("word-level processing"; "WL") and extracting meaning from text ("discourse-level processing"; "DL"); deficiencies in either result in poor reading. FMRI has revealed consistent overlapping networks in word and passage reading, as well as…
