Peer reviewedSteinmetz, Helmuth; Galaburda, Albert M. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1991
Notes that high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging allows in vivo quantification of the surface area of the cortex covering the planum temporale. Reviews the definition of planum asymmetry as it relates to structural accompaniments of disorders such as developmental dyslexia and to anatomic and functional lateralization. Finds support for the…

Peer reviewedHynd, George W.; And Others – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1991
Reviews computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies examining deviations in brain morphology. Discusses methodological and technical issues. Concludes that dyslexics show variations in specific brain regions. Suggests that neuroimaging procedures appear to provide direct evidence supporting the importance of deviations in normal…

Peer reviewedTallal, Paula; And Others – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1991
Reviews research toward defining the neuropathological mechanisms responsible for developmental dysphasia. Hypothesizes that higher level auditory processing dysfunction may result from more basic temporal processing deficits which interfere with resolution of brief duration stimuli. Suggests two alternative hypotheses regarding the…

Direct linkTamaoka, Katsuo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2005
Two experiments investigated the effect of kanji morphemic homophony on lexical decision and naming. Effects were examined from both the left-hand and right-hand positions of Japanese two-kanji compound words. The number of homophones affected the processing of compound words in the same way for both tasks. For left-hand kanji, fewer morphemic…

Peer reviewedWood, Frank; And Others – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1991
Investigates the proposed left hemisphere dysfunction in dyslexia by reviewing four studies using regional cerebral blood flow (RCBF) and combined auditory evoked responses with positron emission tomography. Emphasizes methodological issues. Finds that dyslexics showed a positive correlation between Heschl's gyrus activation and phonemic…

Perfetti, Charles A.; Liu, Ying – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2005
According to the Universal Writing System Constraint, all writing systems encode language, and thus reflect basic properties of the linguistic system they encode. According to a second universal, the Universal Phonological Principle, the activation of word pronunciations occurs for skilled readers across all writing systems. We review recent…
