'Nur Ainil Sulaiman'] Reading is a fundamental cognitive-linguistic process that involves the dynamic interaction of multiple interrelated cognitive and perceptual mechanisms. Existing reading models are often limited in fully capturing the intricate relationships between reading attributes across different age groups.…

'Vincent C. Alfonso' 'William Joel Schneider' 'Jacob Robbins'] Cognitive tests measure psychological constructs that predict the development of academic skills. Research on cognitive-reading achievement relations has primarily been completed with single-test batteries and samples, resulting in inconsistencies across…

Computational modelling has served as a powerful tool to advance our understanding of language processes by making theoretical ideas rigorously specified and testable (a form of “ open science” for theory building). In reading research, one of the most influential computational modelling frameworks is the triangle…

Determining how the cognitive components of reading-orthographic, phonological, and semantic representations-are instantiated in the brain has been a long-standing goal of psychology and human cognitive neuroscience. The two most prominent computational models of reading instantiate different cognitive processes…

Although word predictability is commonly considered an important factor in reading, sophisticated accounts of predictability in theories of reading are yet lacking. Computational models of reading traditionally use cloze norming as a proxy of word predictability, but what cloze norms precisely capture remains unclear.…

Existing neurocognitive reading models highlight a left-lateralized brain network supporting word- to discourse-level processing, but they largely overlook emotion. Although emotion-related brain regions are active during discourse processing, the role of arousal (i.e., emotional intensity) remains underexplored. Prior…

The ability to robustly recognize strings of letters, a cornerstone of reading, was observed in Baboons and Pigeons despite their lack of phonological and semantic knowledge. Here, we apply a comparative modeling approach to investigate the neuro-cognitive basis of Human, Baboon, and Pigeon orthographic decision…

To meet the growing demands for competency-based and personalized instruction in high school English reading, this study investigates a quantitative approach to modeling learning pathways and progressions. Traditional assessments often fail to capture students’ fine-grained cognitive differences and provide limited…

Title: Highlights 1. • I review models of visual word recognition and data used to evaluate them. 2. • I focus on recent IA and mathematical/Bayesian models. 3. • I explain how models process and represent letter order. 4. • I suggest how competing models should be evaluated.

how predictability measures interact with individual differences Authors: ['Patrick Haller' 'L. Bolliger' 'Lena A. Jäger'] To date, most investigations on surprisal and entropy effects in reading have been conducted on the group level, disregarding individual differences. In this work, we revisit the predictive power…

'Min Zhang' 'Shaoping Ma'] Reading comprehension is a complex cognitive process involving many human brain activities. However, little is known about what happens in human brain during reading comprehension and how these cognitive activities can affect information retrieval process. Additionally, with the advances in…

In the last 20 years, the study of mind wandering has attracted the attention of a growing number of researchers from fields like psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience. Mind wandering has been characterized in multiple ways: as task-unrelated, unintentional, stimulus-independent, or unguided thought processes. Those…

In everyday communication, humans predict upcoming language seemingly effortlessly. However, it remains unclear to what extent the formation of such predictions taxes executive resources. Our study set out to investigate how a limitation of executive resources impacts natural language prediction on multiple timescales…

Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate strong language generation capabilities but often struggle with structured reasoning, leading to inconsistent or suboptimal problem-solving. To mitigate this limitation, Guilford's Structure of Intellect (SOI) model—a foundational framework from intelligence theory—is leveraged…

Reading comprehension is a complex task that depends on multiple cognitive and linguistic processes. According to the updated Simple View of Reading framework, in adults, individual variation in reading comprehension can be largely explained by combined variance in three component abilities: (1) decoding accuracy, (2)…

Objectives: Several studies have focused on the role of working memory (WM) in predicting mathematical and reading literacy. Alternative models of WM have been proposed and a modalitydependent model of WM, distinguishing between verbal and visuospatial WM modalities, has been advanced. In addition, the relationship…

This study proposes a model of computational consciousness for non-interacting agents. The phenomenon of interest was assumed as sequentially dependent on the cognitive tasks of sensation, perception, emotion, affection, attention, awareness, and consciousness. Starting from the Smart Sensing prodromal study, the…
