Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluating the Dynamics of Unintended Interpersonal Coordination

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-spectral analysis of the movements revealed higher coherence and a distribution of relative phase angles that was dominated by values near 0 deg. and 180 deg.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reading fluency: the whole is more than the parts.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that phonological awareness, rapid letter naming, and orthographic pattern recognition contribute to word-reading skills and support the multidimensional nature of fluency in which the whole is more than its parts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of print size on reading speed in dyslexia

TL;DR: A study predicted that across a wide range of print sizes dyslexic reading would follow the same curve shape as skilled reading, with constant reading rates across large print sizes and a sharp decline in reading rates below a critical print size, following the letter position coding deficit hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of reading time complexity and reading speed in text comprehension.

TL;DR: It is argued that both reading speed and comprehension should be seen as the result of the reading process, and that the process of fluent text reading can instead be described by complexity metrics that quantify aspects of the stability of theReading process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurolinguistics: Structure, Function, and Connectivity in the Bilingual Brain

TL;DR: The plethora of findings that relate to the structural, functional, and connective changes in the brain that ensue from bilingualism are compiled and interpreted.
