Neuroimaging on Reading Acquisition - Dictionary of Arguments
Upton I 101 Reading acquisition/Neuroimaging/Upton: (…) evidence from neuro-imaging studies and studies of patients with cerebellar lesions also play an important role in a range of high-level cognitive functions, such as language, previously believed to be under the sole control of the cortex (Booth et al., 2007)(1). According to the cerebellar deficit hypothesis (Nicolson et al., 1995)(2), both literacy and automaticity problems can be explained by abnormal cerebellar function. Indeed, there is evidence from both behavioural and neuro-imaging tests that dyslexia is associated with cerebellar impairment in about 80 per cent of cases (Nicholson et al., 2001)(3). It therefore seems that not only does motor development create the opportunity for cognitive functions to develop,(…) but that the interrelatedness of cognitive and motor development might also be based on shared neural systems (Ojeman, 1984(4); Diamond, 2000(5)). >Language, >Language acquisition, >Speaking, >Writing. 1.
