Burgeoning research has been done on reading and developmental dyslexia in different
writing systems over the past decades. The prevailing view of reading research is that the …

Developmental dyslexia is a neurobiologically based disorder that affects≈ 5–17% of
school children and is characterized by a severe impairment in reading skill acquisition. For …

Are the brain mechanisms of reading acquisition similar across writing systems? And do
similar brain anomalies underlie reading difficulties in alphabetic and ideographic reading …

It is ironic that our recent report on the neural correlates of Chinese dyslexia (Siok, Perfetti,
Jin, & Tan, 2004) raises a concern by Ziegler (2006) that this report could undermine an …

Previous neuroimaging studies have suggested that developmental dyslexia has a different
neural basis in Chinese and English populations because of known differences in the …

Research on cross-linguistic comparisons of the neural correlates of reading has
consistently found that the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG) is more involved in Chinese than …

To determine whether the neural anomalies underlying developmental dyslexia are
universal across languages or influenced by the writing system, we tested 10-year-old …

In the history of human evolution, reading and writing skills were developed about 5,400
years ago (Dehaene, 2009), which is fairly late in the context of the 350,000–150,000 years …

Cognitive neuropsychological studies of patients with acquired reading and writing
disorders in alphabetic languages have influenced our understanding of how mappings …

Reading is a high-order cognitive process that is unique in human beings. There is a
prolonged developmental course and a wide range of proficiency levels associated with …
