Childrens working-memory processes: a response-timing analysis.

Recall response durations were used to clarify processing in working-memory tasks. Experiment 1 examined childrens performance in reading span, a task in which sentences were processed and the final word of each sentence was retained for subsequent ...

Aging and functional spatial relations in comprehension and memory.

Previous research has suggested that, relative to younger adults, older adults devote a greater proportion of their discourse processing to the situation model level. The current experiment assessed whether this is due, in part, to a preserved ability to ...

Breaking the waves: age differences in electrical brain activity when reading text with distractors.

The authors tested whether older adults have greater difficulty than younger adults in ignoring task-irrelevant information during reading as a result of age-related decline in inhibitory processes. Participants were shown target sentences containing ...

Tape-assisted reciprocal teaching: cognitive bootstrapping for poor decoders.

BACKGROUND: Students who have limited skills in decoding and comprehension and who lack motivation to read present difficulties for practitioners. Difficulties may be compounded when these students lack access to age-appropriate and interesting text and ...

Conversion of semantic information into phonological representation: a function in left posterior basal temporal area.

A unique feature of Japanese language is that its written sentences consist of both morphograms (kanji) and syllabograms (kana). Despite extensive research by PET, functional MRI and magnetoencephalography, the issues of the difference (or the ...

Oculomotor consequences of feeble image size inequality at near reading distance.

Reading and working with a computer screen are activities of everyday life that take place at near vision. This study examines whether at such a near distance, normal subjects are capable of modifying the natural conjugacy of their saccades when exposed ...

Chronometry of parietal and prefrontal activations in verbal working memory revealed by transcranial magnetic stimulation.

We explored the temporal dynamics of parietal and prefrontal cortex involvement in verbal working memory employing single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). In six healthy volunteers the left or right inferior parietal and prefrontal cortex ...

Modulation of neural connectivity during tongue movement and reading.

In a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, a novel connectivity analysis method termed within-condition interregional covariance analysis (WICA) was introduced for investigation into brain modulation during tongue movement and reading ...

Neural basis of the non-attentional processing of briefly presented words.

The neural basis of the automatic activation of words was investigated in an fMRI study. In the study, words were presented briefly (51 or 151 msec) followed by a mask. To prevent attentional processing, subjects attended to the masks and not the words, ...

The time course of brain activity in reading English and Chinese: an ERP study of Chinese bilinguals.

Chinese bilinguals performed a delayed naming task, reading both Chinese characters and English words, while EEGs were recorded by a 128-channel system. Principle component analysis (PCA) of Event Related Potentials (ERP) from the onset of the stimulus ...
