Encoding of rapid time-varying information is impaired in poor readers (2017)
Journal Article
Johnston, R., Pitchford, N. J., Roach, N. W., & Ledgeway, T. (2017). Encoding of rapid time-varying information is impaired in poor readers. Journal of Vision, 17(5), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.1167/17.5.1

A characteristic set of eye movements and fixations are made during reading, so the position of words on the retinae is constantly being updated. Effective decoding of print requires this temporal stream of visual information to be segmented or parse... Read More about Encoding of rapid time-varying information is impaired in poor readers.

How do personality and social structures interact with each other to predict important life outcomes?: the importance of accounting for personality change (2017)

Body representation difficulties in children and adolescents with autism may be due to delayed development of visuo-tactile temporal binding (2017)
Journal Article
