In recent years cognitive psychology has made a substantial contribution to our understanding of the reading process. This comprehensive book aims to provide a review of such an approach. The book begins with basic aspects of reading, covering the cultural and biological context of reading, word recognition processes and reading in relation to the following: working memory, syntactic analysis, the comprehension of text, the cerebral hemispheres and eye movements. More applied aspects of reading follow: the development of reading in children, the development of phonemic awareness, reading retardation and its causes and alexias. The book is written at a level which will be useful to researchers as well as to advanced undergraduates.
