Speed discrimination predicts word but not pseudo-word reading rate in adults and children.
Visual processing in the magnocellular pathway is a reputed influence on word recognition and reading performance. However, the mechanisms behind this relationship are still unclear. To explore this concept, we measured reading rate, speed-discrimination, and contrast detection thresholds in adults and children with a wide range of reading abilities. We found that speed discrimination threshold...
متن کاملReading Self-Efficacy Predicts Word Reading But Not Comprehension in Both Girls and Boys

متن کاملWord surprisal predicts N400 amplitude during reading
We investigated the effect of word surprisal on the EEG signal during sentence reading. On each word of 205 experimental sentences, surprisal was estimated by three types of language model: Markov models, probabilistic phrasestructure grammars, and recurrent neural networks. Four event-related potential components were extracted from the EEG of 24 readers of the same sentences. Surprisal estima...

متن کاملPathway Evidence of How Musical Perception Predicts Word-Level Reading Ability in Children with Reading Difficulties
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether specific domains of musical perception (temporal and melodic domains) predict the word-level reading skills of eight- to ten-year-old children (n = 235) with reading difficulties, normal quotient of intelligence, and no previous exposure to music education classes. METHOD A general-specific solution of the Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA), which...
