Language and literacy in the context of brain, cognition, and culture

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

I briefly review studies that examine the differential effects of orthography in skilled readers of English, Hebrew, and Arabic, and suggest that the manner in which specific orthographies represent spoken language, and neural mechanisms that sub–serve reading, can give us a unique window through which to explore cognition.
