Patterns of Cortical Activity in a Silent Single-Word Reading Task Depend on Word Frequency and Age-Related Differences: An MEG Study

Psychophysiology. 2025. Vol. 62. No. 11. Article e70192.
Samoylov I., Bolgina T., Lonshakov G., Gomozova M., Arutiunian V., Dragoy O.

This study investigates how word frequency and age modulate the amplitude, temporal, and spatial patterns of cortical activation during silent single-word reading, as measured by magnetoencephalography (MEG). We recorded MEG data from 30 neurotypical adults and 30 typically developing children during a silent reading task involving high-frequency words, low-frequency words, and pseudowords, with cortical activation analyzed using event-related
fields (ERF) and peak latency (PL). In both adults and children, high-frequency words elicited lower ERF amplitudes and faster processing times compared to low-frequency words and pseudowords. While similar neural regions were activated across stimulus types, children demonstrated significantly higher amplitudes and longer processing times than adults. These results indicate that word frequency significantly modulates the neural dynamics of reading, with high-frequency words processed more efficiently. Furthermore, the data suggest that the reading pathways in children are still maturing, as evidenced by their increased neural activation and delayed processing. This developmental 
difference, particularly the demonstration of frequency-dependent processing in the superior temporal gyrus of children, offers unique evidence for the maturation of distinct lexical and sublexical reading pathways, consistent with the dual-route cascaded theory.

The term “broad autism phenotype” (BAP) refers to individuals who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for autism but share some of its features, including social difficulties and atypicalities in visual perception and attention that have been linked to a detail-oriented cognitive style. To examine both the cognitive and social aspects of BAP, we employed ...

Being able to remember the origin of a particular memory is for times even more important than the memory itself. Yet, although memory for the information and memory for the source are intrinsically connected, the particular neural underpinnings for the source‐memory monitoring remains unclear. We run an fMRI meta‐analysis to help to clarify the brain ...

The rapid proliferation of misinformation in digital environments poses a serious threat to public health, political institutions, and public discourse.

Low-level auditory processing difficulties have been previously reported in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and some studies showed the relationship between these difficulties in the primary auditory cortex and language impairment in ASD. However, there is still a limited number of studies that comprehensively assess (i) amplitudes, latencies, and sensory gating effects in all ...

Frequency Effects on Spelling Error Recognition: An ERP Study
Larionova E., Martynova O., Frontiers in Psychology 2022 Vol. 13 Article 834852
Spelling errors are ubiquitous in all writing systems. Most studies exploring spelling errors focused on the phonological plausibility of errors. However, unlike typical pseudohomophones, spelling errors occur in naturally produced written language. We investigated the time course of recognition of the most frequent orthographic errors in Russian (error in an unstressed vowel in the root) ...
