The dynamics of reading complex words: evidence from steady-state visual evoked potentials
Abstract The present study used steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) to examine the spatio-temporal dynamics of reading morphologically complex words and test the neurophysiological activation pattern elicited by stems and suffixes. Three different types of target words were presented to p...
