Literacy Flashcards
Phonological Awareness
The ability to segment words into their phonological constituents
2 Routes to reading
Indirect Phonological Route
Direct Lexical Route
Posterior superior temporal gyrus/sulcus
Visual and auditory letter sound integration
Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Phonological working memory and letter-by-letter reading
Supramarginal Gyrus
Reading unfamiliar words
Ventral Occipito-temporal Cortex
Orthographic processing of visually presented words
Indirect phonological Route
Process by which a reader can sound out a written word
Direct Lexical Route
Skilled readers can recognize known words by sight alone
What brain regions are used for the indirect phonological route?
Posterior superior temporal gyrus/sulcus
Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Supramarginal Gyrus
What brain regions are used for the Direct Lexical route?
Occipitotemporal Gyrus/sulcus
Angular Gyrus
Middle Temporal Gyrus
Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Occipitotemporal Gyrus/Sulcus
Visual Word Processing
Predictive of reading fluency
Angular Gyrus
Semantic Decisions
Middle Temporal gyrus
Semantic Processing and word/language comprehension
Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Facilitating Semantic retrieval and selection
Phonological Dyslexia
Can read real words better than non words
