Language and Cognitive Processes
In a review of findings from language development, language breakdown and real-time processing, we conclude that the case for a modular distinction between grammar and the lexicon has been overstated, ...
Studies of language breakdown in older children and adults provide no evidence for a modular dissociation between grammar and the lexicon; some structures are especially vulnerable to brain damage (e.g ...

Orthographic variations and visual information processing

Results from such comparisons of reading behaviors across different orthographies suggest that human visual information processing is indeed affected by orthographic variation, but only at the lower levels ...
It is noted that this trend of development seems to coincide with the trend of cognitive development of children. ...
Hence, for a general understanding of reading behavior, cross-language comparisons of visual information processing strategies should provide valuable clues to the underlying mechanisms and processes involved ...
