Age- and Experience-Dependent Modulation of Coherent Visual Motion Processing
(Georgetown University, 2016)Visual motion processing dysfunction has been observed in developmental dyslexia, but the nature of the relationship between this dorsal stream function and the reading difficulties observed in dyslexia is unclear. This ... -
The Brain Basis of Arithmetic, Reading and Reading Disability
(Georgetown University, 2013)Reading and arithmetic, both foundational skills essential for classroom success, are symbolic systems that were invented relatively recently in regard to evolutionary history; so recently that the human brain has not ... -
Cerebellar Involvement in Reading and Math Disabilities
(Georgetown University, 2020)Brain imaging studies have shown that the cerebellum, traditionally associated with motor function (Manto et al., 2012), is active during reading (Martin et al., 2015) and math (Arsalidou & Taylor, 2011). Cognitive deficits ... -
Functional and Structural Brain Imaging Studies of Developmental Dyslexia
(Georgetown University, 2013)Written language is relatively new from an evolutionary standpoint; however, reading has become an essential aspect of success in everyday life. As with other acquired skills, the ability to learn to read is variable ... -
Functional Neuroanatomy of Arithmetic in Bilinguals
(Georgetown University, 2020)Despite the prevalence of bilingualism worldwide, the effect of using multiple languages on the cognitive process of math is only just beginning to be understood. Arithmetic in particular draws on linguistic representations ... -
Functional Neuroimaging Studies of Simple Finger Movements in Healthy Development and Aging and in Children with Dyslexia
(Georgetown University, 2017)The functional neuroanatomy of the motor system underlying finger movements has been thoroughly elucidated in young adults. However, less is known about this system at younger and older ages, and in disorders. This ... -
Investigating the Neurofunctional Bases of Reading in the Spanish-English Bilingual Brain
(Georgetown University, 2019)Dual-language use from early stages in life is the experience of over half of the world’s population. This experience is becoming more prevalent worldwide, even in countries that predominantly use one language as the ...
