Lexical Representations in the Common and Specific Neural Networks for Visual, Phonological, and Semantic Processing in Chinese Reading.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have investigated the common and specific neural correlates underlying visuo-orthographic, phonological, and semantic processing in word reading. However, it remains unclear how those networks represent different types of lexical information and how such representations and the interactions between networks are modulated by task-induced processing demands. To address this issue, 32 native Chinese participants were scanned with fMRI while performing a localizer task, and two reading tasks designed to elicit high demands on visuo-orthographic processing (i.e., structural judgment task) and semantic processing (i.e., familiarity judgment task). Activation analyses identified both common and specific neural networks involved in visual, phonological, and semantic processing. Re
