Fluency is the quintessence of effective reading. To obtain socio-economic success, fluent reading is of primordial importance and reading is considered a crucial marker of an individual’s life course. Approximately 5% of children are affected by developmental dyslexia, exhibiting inaccurate word recognition, spelling, phonological decoding, and most importantly, severely dysfluent reading, which remains as their most characterizing and persistent deficit. Unable to attain society’s literacy demands, individuals with dyslexia are at severe risk for adverse academic, economic, and psychosocial consequences. Recently, it has been posed that the development of automatic letter-speech sound ...

But what if every woman had the resources and support to uncover the hidden wonders of her neurodivergent brain? Enter certified ADHD coach and podcast host Tracy Otsuka. Armed with her experience coaching thousands of women, cutting-edg...

Das Lesen gehört zu den wichtigsten Kulturtechniken des Menschen und hat wesentlich zur kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung beigetragen. Lesen. Ein interdisziplinäres Handbuch nähert sich dem komplexen Phänomen aus unterschiedlichen Analyseperspektiven. Neurobiologie, Kognitionspsychologie, Sprachpsychologie und Linguistik erforschen die Voraussetzungen und Grundlagen des Lesens als Verstehensprozess und Sprachverarbeitung. Die medientechnische Perspektive und die Semiotik beschreiben die unterschiedlichen Lesemedien von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart als Übertragungskanäle und Anordnungen von Schrift- und Bildzeichen (Typographie), die Informationen über Zeit und Raum bereit...
This Festschrift honours Günter Stemberger on the occasion of his 75th birthday on 7 December 2015 and contains 41 articles from colleagues and students. The studies focus on a variety of subjects pertaining to the history, religion and culture of Judaism – and, to a lesser extent, of Christianity – from late antiquity and the Middle Ages to the modern era.
Lesen ist eine Handlung, es wird vollzogen. Sarah Reuss untersucht am Beispiel dieser alltäglichen Handlung die Ereignishaftigkeit ästhetischer Wahrnehmungen. Dazu entwickelt sie eine vollzugsmäßige Theorie und Methode als konsequente Umsetzung des »performative turn«, womit sie der bisherigen kognitionswissenschaftlichen Erforschung des Lesens einen produktiven Gegenspieler liefert. Pate für den Ansatz stehen Martin Heidegger und Hans-Georg Gadamer, die gebrauchsbasierte Konstruktionsgrammatik sowie die Schriftbildlichkeitsforschung. Insgesamt werden damit wertvolle Impulse für Ästhetik, Leseforschung sowie literaturwissenschaftliche und literaturdidaktische Grundlagenforschung bereitgestellt.
