Obviously, learning to read places a complex burden on ma...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Reading Skill Development using E-Z Reader.
Previously reported simulations using the E-Z Reader model of eye-movement control suggest that the patterns of eye movements observed with children versus adult readers reflect differences in lexical processing proficiency (Reichle et al., 2013). However, these simulations fail to specify precisely what aspect(s) of lexical processing (e.g., orthographic processing) account for the concurrent ...
متن کاملStructural MRI and brain development.
MRI scans provide exceptionally detailed information on how the human brain changes throughout childhood, adolescence, and into old age. We describe several approaches for understanding developmental changes in brain structures based on MRI. Atlas-based “parcellation” methods, for example, measure volumes of brain substructures, revealing how they change with age. Growth curves for different br...
متن کاملSkill Mismatch and Structural Unemployment
I build a model in which structural change creates a mismatch between the skill requirements in the available jobs and workers’ current skills. When the mismatch is severe, labor markets go through a prolonged adjustment process wherein job creation is low and unemployment is high. Due to matching frictions, firms find it harder to locate workers with the requisite skills for novel jobs and the...
