The time course and cortical basis of reading comprehension were studied using magnetoencephalography. The cortical structures implicated most consistently with comprehension were located in the immediate vicinity of the left auditory cortex, where final words totally inappropriate to the overall sentence context evoked enduring activation starting approximately 250 ms and lasting up to 600 ms ...

This paper studies various deep learning models for word-level lip-reading technology, one of the tasks in supervised video classification. Several public datasets have been published research field. However, few investigated techniques using multiple datasets. evaluates four publicly available datasets, namely Lip Reading Wild (LRW), OuluVS, CUAVE, and Speech Scene by Smart Device (SSSD), whic...

This publication proceeds from experiments dealing with identification speed and reading speed among readers of braille (N = 17), reader/-users of CCTV (N = 7) and dyslectics (N = 11), compared with a group of especially quick and accomplished readers being used as a control. The experiments have been conducted over a time-span of several years, in step with the progressively new demands for em...

Aphasic individuals often lose the ability to analyze written information phonetically because of left hemisphere damage experienced through cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or head trauma. In this study, aphasic and normal adults demonstrated use of a right hemisphere visuospatial strategy to analyze printed whole works and word parts such as prefixes and suffixes. The performances of the two gr...

Theories of reading have posited the existence of a neural representation coding for whole real words (i.e., an orthographic lexicon), but experimental support for such a representation has proved elusive. Using fMRI rapid adaptation techniques, we provide evidence that the human left ventral occipitotemporal cortex (specifically the "visual word form area," VWFA) contains a representation base...

OBJECTIVES Howell and Davis's (2011) model that predicts whether stuttering in eight-year old children will persist or recover by teenage was adapted for screening school-aged children for risk of stuttering. Stuttering-severity scores were used to predict whether children belonged to fluent or stuttering groups. Predicted group assignments were compared for models in which severity measures we...

The present study examined the persistency of phonological deficiencies over time. The participants were 40 pupils in grade 2 with documented reading and writing difficulties and a comparison group of 30 pupils. The participants were followed over a 10-year period by word- and non-word-reading tests and tests of cognitive ability. The persistence of phonological deficits was indicated by a high...
