ERP correlates of letter-case in visual word recognition. B Leone-Fernandez, M Perea, M Vergara-Martínez

Visual word recognition is a key element of language comprehension. The vast majority of current models assume that the recognition of a printed word is based on the activation of abstract letter identity representations. The hierarchical neural accounts of letter/word recognition of Dehaene, Cohen, Sigman, and Vinckier (2005) and Grainger, Rey, and Dufau (2008) posit that, early in the process of lexical access, there are neuronal assemblies that respond to the word's case-specific letters (eg, they respond to 'e'but not to 'E').

Awards

I was selected for Award as a young scientist by the Spanish Society of Experimental Psychology, 2009.
This award is given to me for the research: "Hands on the future: facilitation of cortico-spinal hand representation when reading the future tense of hand-related action verbs".
The award has been presented in the SEPEX Conference 2010, Grananda (Spain).
