Eye Movement Dynamics of Good and Poor Readers: Then and Now

The cognitive profiles of poor readers/good spellers and good readers/poor spellers in a consistent orthography: A retrospective analysis

Reading and spelling are closely related to each other, but empirical evidence shows that they can also dissociate. The purpose of this study was to examine the cognitive profiles of good readers/poor spellers and poor readers/good spellers in a relatively consistent orthography (Greek). One hundred forty children were administered measures of phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, p...

Further scientific attention slowly began in the 1930s referring to slime as a microbial product and then was inspired by "How bacteria stick" by Costerton et al. in 1978, and the matrix material was conside...

Modelling the dynamics of integrating context into perception: in good and in poor readers

Individuals implicitly learn the statistics of environmental stimuli. We used ”contraction bias”, the tendency to perceive stimuli closer to the estimated mean of similar previous stimuli, to characterize the dynamics of these implicit inference processes. Using a simple auditory discrimination task we found that listeners build a rich representation of the distribution of past stimuli, and yet...
