Dyslexic (or not), how do we activate phonological codes when reading?

Phonological codes play a key role in learning to read. In this article, published in July in the journal Annals of Dyslexia, Ambre Denis-Noël (PhD) and Chotiga Pattamadilok (CNRS researcher) - in collaboration with two colleagues from the LPC Marseille - study the activation of these codes in typical readers and dyslexic readers, by tracing their eye movements when reading.

Reading aid: ALECTOR database available on Huma-Num

The corpus database of the Alector project is now available for consultation on the following website: https://corpusalector.huma-num.fr

It was created as part of the ANR Alector project https://alectorsite.wordpress.com/corpus/ and offers reading assistance mainly for children who are weak readers and have dyslexia.

From lip- to script-reading: new ANR contract awarded

The LPL is pleased to announce that the project "From lip- to script-reading: An integrative view of audio-visual associations in language processing" (AVA), submitted by Chotiga Pattamadilok, LPL researcher, was validated in the framework of the last ANR PRC selection.

Summary:
The early exposure to speech and speakers’ articulatory gestures is the basis of language acquisition and is a fingerprint of audiovisual association learning. Is this initial ability to associate speech sounds and visual inputs a precursor of infants’ reading ability? Answering this question requires a good understanding of the cognitive/neural bases of both language abilities and whether they interact within the language system. Studies comparing task performance and spatio-temporal dynamics of brain activity associated with these abilities will be conducted. At the theoretical level, the outcome should lead to an elaboration of a unified framework explaining how multi-modal inputs jointly contribute to form a coherent language representation. At the practical level, the new perspective of a link between the developmental trajectories of “lip-reading” and “script-reading” should contribute to language learning and facilitate early detection and remediation of reading deficits.
