Magnocellular training improves visual word recognition
Current research has shown that basic visual networks, such as the magnocellular system, may play a crucial role in reading deficits related to dyslexia. The current study explored the relationship between magnocellular activity and reading abilities; we examined the hypothesis that a repeated usage of the magnocellular stream may improve reading by strengthening crucial neural pathways. Visual...
متن کاملMagnocellular visual function and children's single word reading
Recent research has shown that reading disabled children find it unusually difficult to detect flickering or moving visual stimuli, consistent with impaired processing in the magnocellular visual stream. Yet, it remains controversial to suggest that reduced visual sensitivity of this kind might affect children's reading. Here we suggest that when children read, impaired magnocellular function m...
متن کاملHow Prosody Improves Word Recognition
Prosody has been traditionally regarded as useless for word recognition. In this paper, we provide a schematic view describing how prosody can help word recognition. We provide our view in terms of a Bayesian network that models the stochastic dependence among acoustic observation, word, prosody, syntax and meaning, and an information-theoretic analysis proving that the mutual information betwe...
متن کاملModels of visual word recognition
Reading is a complex process that draws on a remarkable number of diverse perceptual and cognitive processes. In this review, I provide an overview of computational models of reading, focussing on models of visual word recognition-how we recognise individual words. Early computational models had 'toy' lexicons, could simulate only a narrow range of phenomena, and frequently had fundamental limi...
متن کاملVisual training improves underwater vision in children
Children in a tribe of sea-gypsies from South-East Asia have been found to have superior underwater vision compared to European children. In this study, we show that the improved underwater vision of these Moken children is not due to better contrast sensitivity in general. We also show that European children can achieve the same underwater acuity as the Moken children. After 1 month of underwa...
