The Neurocircuitry for Reading
TEMPOROPARIETAL (DORSAL) Anterior (frontal) OCCIPITOTEMPORAL (VENTRAL)
2
Neurotrajectories in Reading Development
Temporoparietal Increases in age and reading skill are associated with increased specialization of left hemisphere posterior brain regions Question: Given age-related changes in experience and plasticity how will this differ in adult learners? Anterior Occipitotemporal
3
The Neurobiology of Reading Disability
Functional/structural neuroimaging indicate that poor readers, especially children, adolescents, and adults with reading disabilities fail to organize left hemisphere temporoparietal and occipitotemporal brain regions into a coherent reading circuit: 1) unstable and reduced brain activation 2) reduced connectivity 3) problems in learning, and consolidation of new learning 4) reduced grey matter volume 5) white matter tract anomalies
4
Instruction and the Neurocircuitry for Reading
A growing number of studies with children and young adolescents have shown that effective remediation is associated with at least partial “normalization” of the neurocircuitry for reading. Question: Given age-related changes in brain plasticity and experience how might this differ in adult struggling readers?
