A longitudinal study of phonological processing skills and reading in bilingual children (2005, background): “The degree of similarity between L1 and L2 phonology and orthography may affect the reading acquisition process (Geva & Siegel, 2000; Geva & Wade– Woolley, 1998; Paulesu et al., 2001).”
A deficit in rime awareness in children with Down syndrome (2002, background): “First, it is important to note that the report was of children learning to read in Italian, a highly transparent orthography in which the acquisition of decoding skills poses much less of a problem than does the opaque English orthography ( Paulesu, Demonet, McCrory, Chanoine, Brunswick, Cappa et al”
Language-specific tuning of visual cortex? Functional properties of the Visual Word Form Area. (2002, background): “Although the VWFA is probably not the primary origin of dyslexia (Habib, 2000), it is one of the brain regions that do not activate normally in dyslexic subjects during reading (Helenius et al., 1999; Paulesu et al., 2001).”
Development of left occipitotemporal systems for skilled reading in children after a phonologically- based intervention. (2004, background): “…after the year-long intervention, children taught with the experimental intervention had made significant gains in reading fluency and demonstrated increased activation in left hemisphere regions, including the inferior frontal gyrus and the middle temporal gyrus; 1 year after the…”
Development of neural mechanisms for reading (2003, background): “Studies contrasting dyslexic adults with controls have shown the success of this task in avoiding performance-related confounding factors in comparisons of subjects of different reading abilitie”
Neuroscience and education: from research to practice? (2006, background): “When learners of transparent writing systems (for example, Italian) are contrasted with learners of non-transparent (for example, English) or character-based (for example, Chinese) writing systems, highly similar brain areas are found to be active during readin”
The visual word form area: expertise for reading in the fusiform gyrus. (2003, background): “Research with dyslexic adults indicates that, among other areas, the VWFA fails to increase its activity in response to word forms [ 44 ,45] (Box 3). A basic functional anatomical model of the typical development of this specialization might provide a framework for the investigation and treatment of”
Theories of developmental dyslexia: insights from a multiple case study of dyslexic adults. (2003, result): “…1985) and functional brain imaging studies also support the notion of a left peri-sylvian dysfunction as a basis for the phonological deficit (Brunswick et al., 1999; McCrory et al., 2000; Paulesu et al., 2001; Paulesu et al., 1996; Pugh et al., 2000; Shaywitz et al., 2002; Shaywitz et al., 1998).”
Specific reading disability (dyslexia): what have we learned in the past four decades? (2004, background): “Such findings apply equally to adults with dyslexia who read in transparent languages (Paulesu et al., 2001).”
The Neurobiological Basis of Skilled and Impaired Reading: Recent Findings and New Directions (2004, background): “Indeed, the ventral disruption has been seen as a critical signature of RD across several languages (Paulesu et al., 2001; Salmelin et al., 1996).”
Neural Correlates of Multisensory Perceptual Learning (2012, background): “…also exhibit altered BOLD activity in pSTS compared with typical-reading controls during auditory and visual nonword rhyming (Rumsey et al., 1992; Shaywitz et al., 2002), pseudo-word processing (Brunswick et al., 1999; Paulesu et al., 2001), and letter-word sound matching (Blau et al., 2010).”
