'Brain letter box', or gate to the reading system.
2 of 17
What does the 'visual word form' area activate?
Activated specifically by letter strings acceptable in the language.
3 of 17
'The right visual field is coded by the right hemisphere, vice versa for left.'
False.
4 of 17
If a word is presented on the left and information is coded in the occipital lobe in the right hemisphere, where is the word processed?
Transfers to the left hemisphere because that is where the visual word form area is.
5 of 17
If there are lesions in the brain at an early age, can the visual word form area swap to the right hemisphere?
Yes.
6 of 17
What are the 2 types of fibres in the reading system?
U fibres (occipito-temporal projection system) & Inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
7 of 17
What do fibres in the reading system do?
Transfer information from the ventro-occipital regions to both posterior areas of the frontal lobe & temporal regions.

'Pronunciation cannot be achieved in both the lexical & non-lexical route in the dual process model.'
False.
9 of 17
'Exception words do not need to be in your LTM.'
False.
10 of 17
'Non-words are part of your vocabulary.'
False.

What did Taylor et al. (2012) find?
Existing words generate strong engagement; takes longer for low frequency strings to reach the same activity level; recognition is not easy for low frequency words; low frequency words lead to more effort.
12 of 17
What is the subtraction logic?
Find out what part of the system across the brain is more engaged for recognising words; remove the shared activation.
13 of 17
What is the dual-process logic?
Lexical pathway engages words but not pseudo-word strings as it is taxed by low-frequency words.
14 of 17
What are 2 contrasts that point towards lexical route (lexico-semantic pathway)?
Words minus pseudo-words; low frequency words minus high frequency words.
15 of 17
What are 2 contrasts that point towards lexicon (input-lexicon)?
Irregular words minus non-orthographic strings; (low frequency) irregular minus (high frequency) regular words.
16 of 17
What are 3 print-to-sound conversion/phoneme output buffer?
Pseudo-words plus words minus non-orthographic strings; pseudo-words minus irregular words; irregular words minus regular words.
