This collection of research papers examines the critical role that vision plays in learning to read. State-of-the-art research suggests that an overemphasis on phonological processes in reading has underestimated the importance of integrating a highly practiced vision system with the language system. Contributors, including Richard C. Shillcock, Marc Brysbaert and Carol Whitney, evaluate recent findings from neuro-imaging literature, along with important current work on how letters and letter strings are processed. From a variety of empirical and theoretical perspectives, these studies examine the impact that eye movement control, left and right visual fields, word shape, visual stress, and right and left hemispheres have on visual word recognition. Visual Factors in Reading explores the complex visual computations fundamental to reading and how they are implemented in the brain.
