- W4313457408 abstract "Learning to read requires the specialization of a region on the left fusiform gyrus known as the visual word form area (VWFA). This region, which previously responds to faces and objects, develops specificity for print over a long trajectory of instruction and practice, lasting into early adulthood. The neuronal recycling hypothesis suggests that the VWFA neurons are primed for print due to their pre-literate tuning properties. However, much of what is known about the VWFA and its development comes from studies of Western orthographies, whose alphabets share common visual characteristics. Far less is known about the development of the VWFA for Arabic, which is a complex orthography and is significantly more difficult to achieve fluency in reading. In the current study, electroencephalography (EEG) responses were collected from first grade children in the UAE learning to read in English and Arabic simultaneously. Children viewed words and false font strings in English and Arabic while performing a vigilance task. The P1 and N1 responses to all stimulus categories were quantified in two occipital and two parietal electrodes as well as the alpha band signal across all four electrodes of interest. Analysis revealed a significantly stronger N1 response to English compared to Arabic and decreased alpha power to Arabic compared to English. These findings suggest a fundamental difference in neural plasticity for these two distinct orthographies, even when instruction is concurrent. Future work is needed to determine whether VWFA specialization for Arabic takes longer than more well-studied orthographies and if differences in reading instruction approaches help accelerate this process." @default.
