Exploring the multiple-level hypothesis of AoA effects in spoken and written object naming using a topographic ERP analysis.

abstract：:Vocal reaction times were measured in Italian dyslexics and in proficient readers while they read single words. Three groups of control participants (for a total of 79) were tested. All were in the first, second or third grade of elementary school. Nine third graders with a low level of reading ability when assessed b...
