  • Summary

    provides background material on the nature of human language and how it differs from animal communication, as well as a brief history of reading and how it differs from oral language. The chapter also reviews the methods that are being used to study the mental processes that support reading, including various behavioral tasks (e.g., lexical decision), eye tracking, and brain imaging. The chapter also reviews two influential computer models of reading that have been adapted to Chinese: the Interactive-Activation model of word identification, and the E-Z Reader model of eye-movement control in reading. The chapter closes with previews of the remaining chapters.
