The processing of consonants and vowels during letter identity and letter position assignment in visual-word recognition: an ERP study.

abstract：:Little is known about the relationship of reading speed and early visual processes in normal readers. Here we examined the association of the early P1, N170 and late N1 component in visual event-related potentials (ERPs) with silent reading speed and a number of additional cognitive skills in a sample of 52 adult Germ...
