Effects of orthographic overlap on Chinese handwritten word production Most Chinese characters are composed of two or more radicals. It has been heatedly debated whether Chinese character recognition involves representations of position-general radicals. A similar issue remains largely unexplored in the domain of handwritten word production. If participants are able to prepare the shared radical in different positions in the proposed study, it would lend strong support to the psychological reality of position-general radicals during handwritten word production. Project Start Year: 2018, Principal Investigator(s): WANG, Jie 王洁
Language and Literacy Cluster .. Project Start Year: 2018, Principal Investigator(s): TONG, Xiuhong 佟秀紅 (WANG, Jie 王洁 as Team Member)
Measuring Brain Activity in Dyslexia: Contributions to Training Evaluation, Prediction, and Identification of Underlying Neural Deficits In an ongoing HMRF-funded study we apply two types of dyslexia trainings (meta-linguistic vs. working memory) and evaluate them at the behavioral and neural levels with EEG. The current proposal intends to add a waiting control group to the HMRF study design in order to better evaluate the behavioral gains of the programs, and at the same time investigate neurocognitive mechanisms of phonological deficits in Chinese dyslexia, as well as use powerful machine learning algorithms to predict dyslexia based on brain activity at rest and during a character processing task. Project Start Year: 2018, Principal Investigator(s): MAURER, Urs (WANG, Jie 王洁 as Co-Investigator)
Effects of phonological overlap on Cantonese spoken word production The proposed study aims to investigate the fundamental cognitive mechanisms underlying Cantonese speech production. Speech production is one of the most important tasks in people’s daily life. Unfolding the fundamental mechanisms underlying speech production will ultimately help to develop effective strategies for better speech production in second language learners or in children with specific language impairment (SLI). The proposed study will systematically compare the effects of phonological overlap on Cantonese spoken word production with various types of primes. Its findings will help to explain the mixed findings in the literature and refine the models of spoken word production. Project Start Year: 2018, Principal Investigator(s): WANG, Jie 王洁
