Journal ArticleDOI
The face-specific N170 component is modulated by emotional facial expression
TL;DR: The face N170 response can be influenced by emotional expressions contained within facial stimuli, and the topography of this effect is consistent with the notion that fear stimuli exaggerates the N 170 response itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Phoneme deletion and RAN were strong concurrent predictors of developmental dyslexia, while verbal ST/WM and general verbal abilities played a comparatively minor role, demonstrating how orthographic complexity exacerbates some symptoms of Dyslexia.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article analyzed concurrent predictions of phonological processing (awareness and memory) and rapid automatized naming (RAN) for literacy development in a rural area of the United States and found that the cognitive underpinnings of reading and spelling are universal or language/orthography-specific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Neurophysiological Specialization for Letter Strings
TL;DR: 6-year-old kindergarten children who could not yet read words to adult readers were compared and suggested that a critical degree of early literacy induces some immature, but fast, specialization for letter strings before word reading becomes possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast, visual specialization for reading in English revealed by the topography of the N170 ERP response
TL;DR: Fast specialized perception related to reading experience produces an N170 modulation detectable across different EEG systems and different languages, which may suggest that ambiguity in pronunciating novel pseudowords due to inconsistency in spelling-to-sound mapping influences early stages of letter string processing.
