Psychological & Brain Sciences 391RE - S- Psychology of Reading

Though reading often seems automatic and effortless, it is an extremely impressive cognitive feat. This seminar reviews what is known about how the mind accomplishes this task. Among other topics, we will address the neural systems underlying reading, the sources of individual differences in reading skill (including dyslexia), the process of learning to read, and reading in non-alphabetic writing systems (e.g., Chinese).
