Introduction: Aphasia is a debilitating language disorder and even mild forms of aphasia can
negatively affect functional outcomes, mood, quality of life, social participation, and the …

Producing written words requires “central” cognitive processes (such as orthographic long-
term and working memory) as well as more peripheral processes responsible for generating …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

To examine the validity of different theoretical assumptions about the neuropsychological
mechanisms and lesion correlates of phonological dyslexia and dysgraphia, we studied …

We report the results of an fMRI investigation of the neural bases of written language
comprehension (reading) and production (spelling). Both tasks were examined in the same …

This research is directed at charting the neurotopography of the component processes of the
spelling system by using fMRI to identify the neural substrates that are sensitive to the factors …

Objective: To determine whether damage to left posterior inferior temporal cortex (PITC) is
associated with agraphia and to characterize the nature of the spelling impairment …

In this study we employed a novel technique to examine the neural basis of written spelling
by having subjects touch-type single words on an fMRI compatible QWERTY keyboard …

Language performance requires support from central cognitive/linguistic abilities as well as
the more peripheral sensorimotor skills to plan and implement spoken and written …

In order to examine the role of left perisylvian cortex in spelling, 13 individuals with lesions in
this area were administered a comprehensive spelling battery. Their spelling of regular …
