Written Word Processing: Neural Mechanisms

Abstract

The present study is a comprehensive review of Cognitive Neuroscience focusing on the neural mechanisms of written word processing. It integrates theoretical frameworks with empirical findings, by emphasizing the roles of neuroimaging studies. The paper also discusses key cognitive processes in both typical and atypical populations addressing the disorders that impact cognitive functions. The review contributes to clinical applications, with future prospect for neurorehabilitation strategies and cognitive interventions, Additionally, cognitive neuroscience has significant implications for Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces and educational practices by informing the development of cognitive models and adaptive learning systems. The interdisciplinary nature of this field bridges gaps between Cognitive Psychology, Computational Neuroscience and Neurotechnology, by advancing our understanding of the dynamic interactions between neural structures and behaviour.
