Sinossi
Come impara a leggere il nostro cervello da primate? Esistono metodi di lettura migliori di altri? E poi, utilizziamo le stesse aree corticali quando leggiamo l'italiano, l'arabo o il cinese? Stanislas Dehaene ci mostra come per rispondere a tali domande occorra dar vita a una scienza della lettura del tutto nuova, in grado di combinare quello che le neuroimmagini ci dicono sui circuiti corticali sottesi all'elaborazione di grafemi e fonemi con quello che la psicologia ci insegna sui meccanismi cognitivi legati all'arte del leggere. Veniamo così a sapere che nel corso dell'acquisizione della lettura i nostri circuiti corticali originariamente destinati al riconoscimento degli oggetti si sono "riciclati" per decifrare caratteri dalle più diverse dimensioni e fogge e che questa conversione è stata lenta, parziale e non priva di difficoltà, come mostrano i ripetuti scacchi cui vanno incontro i bambini (e non solo...). Tale scienza della lettura, però, ha un valore non solo teorico, ma anche pratico, in vista soprattutto di una nuova pedagogia capace di introdurre nel variegato mondo della scuola le conquiste più recenti delle neuroscienze.

It's fascinating how remarkable the very few things are that have been learned about the brain so far. How´s your brain working? Brain research, which is in its infancy, can definitively be described as a guarantee for future surprises and groundbreaking discoveries. The work sheds light on the wonder Leggi tutto
This was a really, really fascinating read, and surprisingly easy to grasp considering the technical subject. I actually read it surprisingly fast, and it was definitely the sort of book that provoked a lot of turning to my partner to ask “did you know that…”. It also made me ask a ton of questions Leggi tutto
Die Schrift und damit das Lesen sind nicht nur eine einzigartige Erfindung der Menschheit, es ist auch der wichtigste Baustein für die rasante Entwicklung und Weitergabe der Kultur. Der französische Kognitionswissenschaftler, Mathematiker und Psychologe Stanislas Dehaene erforscht zusammen mit seine Leggi tutto
เหมาะกับคนรักการอ่านที่อยากจะเข้าใจกระบวนการและกลไกในการอ่านที่เกิดขึ้นในระดับสมอง เราอ่านจนเป็นเรื่องปกติ แทบจะตลอดเวลาจนเราชินและมองข้ามมันไป แต่จริงๆแล้วมันซับซ้อนซ่อนเงื่อน สมองหลายส่วนทำงานร่วมกัน และต้องใช้เวลาหลายปีฝึกฝนกว่าจะทำได้ขนาดนี้ ทั้งๆที่ธรรมชาติไม่ได้ออกแบบสมองมนุษย์มาเพื่อการอ่าน แ Leggi tutto
Bisher hatte ich noch nie darüber nachgedacht, welches Wunder das Lesen ist, denn unser Gehirn ist dafür von der Natur nicht eingerichtet und evolutionäre Prozesse gehen nicht so schnell, wie sich die Kulturtechnik des Lesens entwickelte. Dehaene versucht in gut verständlichem Ton, die Vorgänge im G Leggi tutto
There is something wonderfully ironical about this book: It purports to defend from enemies everywhere the act of reading, while doing so in a way that makes even the lustiest reader temporarily hate the written word. This book is terribly written; its author encapsulates a goodish number of ideas "i Leggi tutto
This joins the go-to books on my shelf for anyone who cares about how we read and how we learn to do it. It's next to Maryanne Wolf's 'Proust and the Squid' and the already-dated 'Understanding Dyslexia' by Sally Shaywitz. It's definitely denser matter than the other two, though, and taking it in req Leggi tutto
I previously read Caplan (Harvard Medical School) in his 1996 book on "Language". He discussed the psychology experiments that revealed that the brain contained 8 different dictionaries, organised conceptually into a tree by speech/text, input/output, and whole-word/grapheme_phoneme. This model forme Leggi tutto
