An unprecedented study of brain plasticity and visual perception has found that people who, as children, had undergone surgery removing half of their brain, correctly recognized differences between ...

Visual word recognition is a multifaceted process involving the rapid and efficient extraction of letter identities and their spatial arrangement. Integral to this field is the exploration of how the ...

Researchers have learned the efficiency by which people recognize spoken words depends as much on the mind as on hearing ability. In a new study, the researchers examined how well adults across the ...

Research into morphological processing— the dissection of complex words into their smallest meaningful units (morphemes)—has significantly enhanced our understanding of word recognition. This field ...

The architecture and processes underlying visual word recognition represent some of the most intricate systems in human cognition. The seemingly simple act of reading a word involves not only a ...

Adults who had one half of their brain removed in childhood to treat seizures can still recognise faces and words at a reasonably high level, suggesting that the organ can reorganise itself after ...
