Understanding the Neuro-Cognitive Mechanisms of Orthographic Learning in Humans and Baboons: A Comparative Study Using Domain-Specific Mechanistic and Domain-General Connectionist Models

2025-05-21

Abstract excerpt

Script is a key technology for humans, as mastering reading is essential for successful social participation. Hence, understanding the neuro-cognitive mechanisms underpinning the processes of learning to read is highly relevant. Here, we use two orthographic learning datasets from baboons and humans to investigate how they implement visual orthographic representations in a learning task of known and novel letter s...
