Handwriting (HW) training seems to boost recognition of visual graphs and learning to read
more than other learning experiences. However, effects across studies appear to be variable …

Face processing dominates the right hemisphere. This lateralization can be affected by co-
lateralization within the same system and influence between different systems, such as …

In this perspective piece, we briefly review embodied cognition and embodied learning. We
then present a translational research model based on this research to inform teachers …

How does a child learn to read a map? In 2007, the authors of an article in the Journal of
Geography proposed a tentative list of eight “modes of spatial reasoning” that children may …

Recent advances in pedagogical research have called attention to the dynamic nature of the
teaching and learning process in which the actors mutually influence one another. The …

Speech processing involves a complex interplay between sensory and motor systems in the
brain, essential for early language development. Recent studies have extended this sensory …

In this paper we make a proposal that writing modality (pen-and-paper versus computer-
based writing can be conceptualized as a cognitive task complexity factor. To lay ground for …

There is much evidence that familiarity can affect perception of stimuli, with items that are
familiar to the individual being preferred and better remembered. Previous research has …

Handwriting is a complex visual-motor skill that affects early reading development. A large
body of work has demonstrated that handwriting is supported by a widespread neural …

Writing is an important way to communicate in everyday life because it can convey
information over time and space, but its neural substrates remain poorly known. Although …
