Predicting Reading From Behavioral and Neural Measures – A Longitudinal Event-Related Potential Study

Fluent reading is characterized by fast and effortless decoding of visual and phonological information. Here we used event-related potentials (ERPs) and neuropsychological testing to probe the neurocognitive basis of reading in a sample of children with a wide range of reading skills. We report data...
