Cognitive Neuroscience and Reading Research Group - READit

Description

The READit research group is interested in the study of the neurobiological, cognitive and behavioural foundations of reading. The methodological focus is experimental psychology and the collection of electrophysiological (EEG) and eye movement measurements as correlates of reading behaviour at different levels: decoding, syntactic processing and comprehension. Under these parameters, different lines of research are articulated, dedicated to the study of reading acquisition in children with typical and atypical development, lexical access in different languages or research applied to everyday life activities, such as the comprehension of digital texts in adolescents or the reading of traffic signs while driving a vehicle.

READit seeks to relate its findings to current models of reading, reading literacy instruction and intervention in developmental disorders or psychopathologies that affect reading.

Goals CT
  • To study the neurobiological, cognitive and behavioural foundations of reading: the aim is to analyse the correlates of different reading processes ranging from word decoding to text comprehension, including syntactic analysis, mainly from the point of view of neurobiology, accompanying behavioural measures (accuracy, reading times or eye movement patterns) and cognitive measures (memory or attention) with physiological measures such as EEG or pupil dilation.
  • To apply and transfer knowledge to applied areas. Once the basics of reading are known, modify the environment (i.e. linguistic elements or formats and forms of presentation of educational, informative or divulgative texts, etc.) or design programmes and techniques for intervention in specific processes (i.e. Critical reading training in digital environments with adolescents; eye-movements modelling examples, etc.).
Research lines
  • Critical reading on the internet

    Our line aims to assess the psychological components that explain uncritical reading on the internet, as well as to describe and explain how these components develop over the course of adolescence, with the ultimate goal of evaluating ways to improve these critical aspects.

  • Neurodevelopmental and reading disorders

    This line focuses on the analysis, from a developmental perspective, of the difficulties in decoding and reading comprehension common in various neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Intellectual Disability (ID) or Dyslexia.
