This chapter reviews the neuropsychological evidence that is relevant to our understanding
of working memory (WM). It focuses on behavioural and neuroimaging studies with healthy …

Background: Acquired dysgraphia (impaired writing/spelling skills) can significantly restrict
people from participating in social, professional, and educational life. Using writing in order …

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 …

The current study aims to determine the brain areas critical for response to anodal
transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in PPA. Anodal tDCS and sham were …

Background Acquired writing impairment, or dysgraphia, is common in aphasia. It affects
both handwriting and typing, and may recover less well than other aphasic symptoms …

A central question in the study of the neural basis of written language is whether reading
and spelling utilize shared orthographic representations. While recent studies employing …

Purpose Treatment studies have documented the therapeutic and functional value of lexical
writing treatment for individuals with severe aphasia. The purpose of this study was to …

Most theories of spelling propose two major processes for translating between orthography
and phonology: a lexical process for retrieving the spellings of familiar words and a …

Research in the cognitive and neural sciences has long posited a distinction between the
long-term memory (LTM) storage of information and the short-term buffering of information …

Predictors of treatment effects allow individual tailoring of treatment characteristics, thereby
saving resources and optimizing outcomes. Electrical stimulation coupled with language …
