The role of the written script in shaping mirror-image discrimination: Evidence from illiterate, Tamil literate, and Tamil-Latin-alphabet bi-literate adults
T Fernandes, M Arunkumar, F Huettig - Cognition, 2021 - Elsevier
Learning a script with mirrored graphs (eg, d≠ b) requires overcoming the evolutionary-old
perceptual tendency to process mirror images as equivalent. Thus, breaking mirror …

The mirror reflects more for d than for b: Right asymmetry bias on the visual recognition of words containing reversal letters
Research has shown that recognizing words that contain reversal letters (eg, b/d) is more
difficult than recognizing words that do not contain them. Although none of the current …

Developmental mirror-writing is paralleled by orientation recognition errors
RD McIntosh, K Hillary, A Brennan… - … : Asymmetries of Body …, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
The writing attempts of children often feature mirror-reversals of individual letters. These
reversals are thought to arise from an adaptive tendency to mirror-generalize. However, it is …

Mirrors are hard to break: A critical review and behavioral evidence on mirror-image processing in developmental dyslexia
T Fernandes, I Leite - Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2017 - Elsevier
The relation between reversal errors (eg, d for b, Я for R) and developmental dyslexia has
been elusive. In this study, we investigated the roles of reading level, visual category, and …
