READING, NEW QUESTIONS

This evening I found this very interesting article.  It is about Stanislas Dehaene, a cognitive neuroscientist at the French medical-research agency, INSRM.  Dehaene has some very interesting research and observations that are addressed in this article:

The Origins of Literacy:  The Da Vinci Code:  Reading may involve unlearning an older skill.  July 8, 2010.

You may find the link to this article at Literacy in the News as of July 30, 2010 at:
