dc.description.abstract | Skilled reading requires years of practice associating visual symbols with speech sounds. Over the course of the
learning process, this association becomes effortless and automatic. Here we test whether automatic activation of
spoken-language circuits in response to visual words is a hallmark of skilled reading. Magnetoencephalography
was used to measure word-selective responses under multiple cognitive tasks (N = 42, 7–12 years of age). Even
when attention was drawn away from the words by performing an attention-demanding fixation task, strong
word-selective responses were found in a language region (i.e., superior temporal gyrus) starting at ~300 ms
after stimulus onset. Critically, this automatic word-selective response was indicative of reading skill: the
magnitude of word-selective responses correlated with individual reading skill. Our results suggest that automatic
recruitment of spoken-language circuits is a hallmark of skilled reading; with practice, reading becomes
effortless as the brain learns to automatically translate letters into sounds and meaning. | es_ES |
