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.

• Estudiar los fundamentos neurobiológicos, cognitivos y conductuales de la lectura: se pretende analizar los correlatos de diferentes procesos lectores que van desde la decodificación de palabras a la compresión de textos pasando por el Análisis sintáctico fundamentalmente desde el punto de vista de la neurobiología acompañando las medidas conductuales (aciertos, tiempos de lectura o patrones de movimientos oculares) y cognitivas (memoria o atención) de medidas fisiológicas como EEG o dilatación pupilar.
• Aplicar y transferir los conocimiento a ámbitos aplicados. Una vez conocidos los fundamentos de la lectura, modificar el entorno (Ej elementos lingüísticos o formatos y formas de presentación de textos educativos, informativos o divulgativos, etc.) o diseñar programas y técnicas de intervención en procesos específicos (Ej. Entrenamiento en Lectura Crítica en entornos digitales con adolescentes; eye-movements modelling examples, etc.).

• 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.
• 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.
