Girls consistently outperform boys on tests of reading comprehension, although the reason
for this is not clear. In this review, differences between boys and girls in areas relating to …

Raise your ELL success quotient and watch student achievement soar! How the ELL Brain
Learns combines current research on how the brain learns language with strategies for …

In recent years, some researchers have proposed that a fundamental component of the word
recognition process is that each fovea is divided precisely at its vertical midline and that …

Many theoretical models of reading assume that different writing systems require different
processing assumptions. For example, it is often claimed that print-to-sound mappings in …

Recent research on foveal structure and reading suggests that the two halves of a centrally
fixated word seem to be initially projected to, and processed in, different hemispheres. In the …

Cognitive science depends on abstractions made from the complex reality of human
behaviour. Cognitive scientists typically wish the abstractions in their theories to be …

The Chinese language possesses linguistic properties that are distinct from those of the
most widely studied European languages. Given such uniqueness, research on the …

Lateralization is a critical characteristic of language production and also plays a role in
visual word recognition. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the interactions …

The tendency to perceive the identity of the left half of a centrally viewed face more strongly
than that of the right half is associated with visual processing of faces in the right hemisphere …

Anatomical evidence shows that our visual field is initially split along the vertical midline and
contralaterally projected to different hemispheres. It remains unclear at which processing …
