The neural systems for phonological processing of written language have been well
identified now, while models based on these neural systems are different for different …

We used the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method to quantitatively synthesize data
from 19 published brain mapping studies of phonological processing in reading, six with …

Producing written words requires “central” cognitive processes (such as orthographic long-
term and working memory) as well as more peripheral processes responsible for generating …

Visual word recognition involves mappings among orthographic, phonological, and
semantic codes. In alphabetic languages, it is hard to disentangle the effects of these codes …

The contribution of orthographic representations to reading and writing has been intensively
investigated in the literature. However, the distinction between neuronal correlates of the …

Acquiring literacy establishes connections between the spoken and written system and
modifies the functioning of the spoken system. As most evidence comes from on-line speech …

It is unknown how experience with different types of orthographies influences the neural
basis of oral language processing. In order to determine the effects of alphabetic and …

A growing body of neuroimaging evidence has shown that Chinese character processing
recruits differential activation from alphabetic languages due to its unique linguistic features …

Both logographic characters and alphabetic pinyins can be used to write words in Chinese.
Here we use fMRI to address the question of whether the written form affects brain …

Written Chinese as logographic script differs notably from alphabets such as English in
visual form, orthography, phonology, and semantics. Thus, research on the Chinese …
