DOI: 10.1089/brain.2020.0759
Abstract: Introduction: Japanese is unique, as it features two distinct writing systems that share the same sound and meaning: syllabic Hiragana and logographic Kanji scripts. Acquired reading difficulties in Hiragana and Kanji have been examined in… read more here.

Spontaneous Emergence of Legibility in Writing Systems: The Case of Orientation Anisotropy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Cognitive Science"
DOI: 10.1111/cogs.12550
Abstract: Abstract Cultural forms are constrained by cognitive biases, and writing is thought to have evolved to fit basic visual preferences, but little is known about the history and mechanisms of that evolution. Cognitive constraints have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/nyas.14768
Abstract: Cross–writing system research in psychology and cognitive neuroscience has yielded important findings regarding how a writing system's structure can influence the cognitive challenges of learning to read and the neural underpinnings of literacy. The current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1162/coli_a_00409
Abstract: Abstract Taxonomies of writing systems since Gelb (1952) have classified systems based on what the written symbols represent: if they represent words or morphemes, they are logographic; if syllables, syllabic; if segments, alphabetic; and so… read more here.

DOI: 10.3103/s8756699019030130
Abstract: A method has been developed and investigated to measure the fabrication accuracy of precision synthesized structures by circular laser writing systems using special microstructures formed in two orthogonal directions. These microstructures consist of two parts,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.00155
Abstract: The present article reviews the literature on the functional neuroanatomy of developmental dyslexia across languages and writing systems. This includes comparisons of alphabetic languages differing in orthographic depth as well as comparisons across alphabetic, syllabic,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3758/s13428-017-0881-y
Abstract: We report a new multidimensional measure of visual complexity (GraphCom) that captures variability in the complexity of graphs within and across writing systems. We applied the measure to 131 written languages, allowing comparisons of complexity… read more here.
