Hung, Yi-Hui; Frost, Stephen J.; Molfese, Peter; Malins, Jeffrey G.; Landi, Nicole; Mencl, W. Einar; Rueckl, Jay G.; Bogaerts, Louisa; Pugh, Kenneth R. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2019
To investigate the neural basis of a common statistical learning mechanism involved in motor sequence learning and decoding, we recorded brain activation from participants during a serial reaction time (SRT) task and a word reading task using functional magnetic resonance imaging. In the SRT task, a manual response was made depending on the…

Roch, Maja; Levorato, M. Chiara – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2009
Background: According to the "Simple View of Reading" (Hoover and Gough 1990), individual differences in reading comprehension are accounted for by decoding skills and listening comprehension, each of which makes a unique and specific contribution. Aims: The current research was aimed at testing the Simple View of Reading in individuals…
