While cross-linguistic work has long recognized differences in reading processes associated with distinct writing systems (e.g., Chinese vs. English), recent research has identified similar variability within skilled English readers. In this talk I will unravel what these individual differences mean for how people can achieve skilled reading through alternative routes. I will additionally explore possible influences on where individual differences come from (e.g., musical training), and what other cognitive processes (e.g., face processing) may be related to variability in reading.For more information, call 845-758-7223, or e-mail [email protected].
