Electrical measurement of internal information processing during silent reading and listening
The Pavlovian Journal of Biological Science
|October 1, 1979
Abstract:
When one listens, one "say what one hears." In reading, one "says what one sees," following which, one "hears what one says." The processes of intermodal transfer and of phonetic coding to achieve lexical-semantic processing are hypothesized. The technologic consequence is that covert oral behavior (subvocalization) during silent reading is beneficial to children and should not be tampered with by the teacher.
