Abstract

This article examines the neural underpinnings of reading development situated within a view that reading involves two main processes – print-to-sound and print-to-meaning mapping. Each section reviews a different neuroimaging method and focuses on developmental change. First, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies are considered, which reveal the location and nature of neural activity during reading. Next connectivity analyses are reviewed that show how information is transmitted between brain regions. Electroencephalography (EEG) research on the timing of neural activity during reading is then summarized. Finally, studies with adults are considered, including artificial language learning and comparisons between illiterate and literate populations.
