Does silent reading speed in normal adult readers depend on early visual processes? evidence from event-related brain potentials.

abstract：:During reading, we can process and integrate information from words allocated in the parafoveal region. However, whether we extract and process the meaning of parafoveal words is still under debate. Here, we obtained Fixation-Related Potentials in a Basque-Spanish bilingual sample during a Spanish reading task. By usi...
