“…Given its importance, developmental cognitive neuroscience has investigated how different regions of the human cerebral cortex develop their specificity during reading acquisition (Turkeltaub, Gareau, Flowers, Zeffiro, & Eden, ; Turkeltaub, Eden, Jones, & Zeffiro, ). A traditional approach towards understanding the neural underpinnings of reading development has been to investigate the change in activation level of particular local brain regions (Cao et al, ; Cao, Brennan, & Booth, ; Price, ; Szaflarski et al, ; Turkeltaub et al, ). For example, a previous English study reported a developmental decrease in the activation of the dorsal part of the left superior temporal gyrus in a visually presented word rhyming judgment task (Bitan et al, ), indicating that there was reduced reliance on phonology in English reading development.…”
