Functional MRI of sentence comprehension in children with dyslexia: beyond word recognition

Center:

MD-Kennedy Krieger Institute, UCEDD/LEND

Fiscal Year:

2009

Contact Information:

Product Description:

Sentence comprehension (SC) studies in typical and impaired readers suggest that reading for meaning involves more extensive brain activation than reading isolated words. Thus far, no reading disability/dyslexia (RD) studies have directly controlled for the word recognition (WR) components of SC tasks, which is central for understanding comprehension processes beyond WR. This experiment compared SC to WR in 29, 9-14 year olds (15 typical and 14 impaired readers).
