“…3. This left hemispheric lateralization of phonological process are in agreement with behavioral (Chiarello, Kacinik, Manowitz, Otto, & Leonard, 2004;Cousin et al, 2009;Smolka & Eviatar, 2006;Waldie & Mosley, 2000) and neuroimaging (Baciu, Juphard, Cousin, & Bas, 2005;Baciu, Kahane, et al, 2001;Kareken, Lowe, Lurito, & Mathews, 2000;Simon et al, 2006;Xu et al, 2001) studies. With respect to the specific role of these regions, the left lingual (medial extrastriate) and left inferior temporal gyri may reflect early visuo-orthographic (Gaillard et al, 2006;Kronbichler et al, 2004;Valdois et al, 2006) and phonological (Xu et al, 2001) analysis.…”

“…Additionally, behavioral (Coney, 2002;Cousin et al, 2009;Majeres, 1999;Perrone et al, 2009) and neuroimaging (Kansaku, Yamaura, & Kitazawa, 2000;Puce, Allison, Asgari, Gore, & MCCarthy, 1996;Shaywitz et al, 1995) studies have shown that the gender of participants affects the language organization. However, this finding remains controversial as some authors did not find such evidence (Frost et al, 1999;Sommer, Aleman, Bouma, & Kahn, 2004; see also Kaiser, Haller, Schmitz, &Nitsch, 2009 andWallentin, 2009, for a review).…”

When gender effect for language is reported, it has been mostly observed for phonological processing (Coltheart, Hull, & Slater, 1975;Coney, 2002;Cousin et al, 2009;Majeres, 1999;Perrone et al, 2009;Pugh et al, 1996;Shaywitz et al, 1995). Their results have shown that females are more efficient to translate speech sound into visual counterparts (Halpern, 2000;Majeres, 1999;McGuinness & Courtney, 1983).…”

“…Half of the pseudo-words contained the phoneme /o/ corresponding to three orthographic forms in French, the graphemes /o/, /eau/ and /au/. The position of the three orthographical shapes (graphemes) of the phoneme /o/ was counterbalanced, in order to neutralize a possible bias related to orthographic visual representation (Cousin et al, 2009; Perrone-Bertolotti et al, 2011; Yvert et al, 2012). The language condition of the SEM run included 30 French words (W) of six to seven letters in length each.…”

It has been suggested that dorsal and ventral pathways support distinct aspects of language processing. Yet, the full extent of their involvement and their inter-regional connectivity in visual word recognition is still unknown. Studies suggest that they might reflect the dual-route model of reading, with the dorsal pathway more involved in grapho-phonological conversion during phonological tasks, and the ventral pathway performing lexico-semantic access during semantic tasks. Furthermore, this subdivision is also suggested at the level of the inferior frontal cortex, involving ventral and dorsal parts for lexico-semantic and phonological processing, respectively. In the present study, we assessed inter-regional brain connectivity and task-induced modulations of brain activity during a phoneme detection and semantic categorization tasks, using fMRI in healthy subject. We used a dynamic causal modeling approach to assess inter-regional connectivity and task demand modulation within the dorsal and ventral pathways, including the following network components: the ventral occipito-temporal cortex (vOTC; dorsal and ventral), the superior temporal gyrus (STG; dorsal), the dorsal inferior frontal gyrus (dIFG; dorsal), and the ventral IFG (vIFG; ventral). We report three distinct inter-regional interactions supporting orthographic information transfer from vOTC to other language regions (vOTC -> STG, vOTC -> vIFG and vOTC -> dIFG) regardless of task demands. Moreover, we found that (a) during semantic processing (direct ventral pathway) the vOTC -> vIFG connection strength specifically increased and (b) a lack of modulation of the vOTC -> dIFG connection strength by the task that could suggest a more general involvement of the dorsal pathway during visual word recognition. Results are discussed in terms of anatomo-functional connectivity of visual word recognition network.

“…This physiological and cognitive factors may lead to women"s brain superiority to men"s. Bitan, et al (2010) found greater interhemispheric connectivity in girls compared to boys, consistent with the hypothesis suggesting that a more bilateral representation of language is found in females than in males. Cousin et al (2009) found that males showed an asymmetric pattern, while females showed greater symmetry. Males were significantly more lateralized than female participants.…”

Rose and Nicholl"s theory dealing with the effectiveness of multisensory learning seems contradictory with Pease and Pease"s theory regarding with gender-based multitasking. The present study aims at: 1) determining the significance of the difference of STM of English vocabulary between males and females trained with different types of modality; 2) testing whether multimodality lowers males" STM of English vocabulary; and 3) exploring the trainees" modality preference and their reasons based on sex. This mix-methods study involved 60 subjects drawn through Allocation Random Sampling from the entire freshmen. Data were collected with tests, a structured questionnaire, an interview, a tape-recorder, observations and note-taking. They were analyzed with Two-way Anova, Chi-square (χ 2 ) and cyclical qualitative analysis. It shows that: 1) there is a significant difference of STM of English vocabulary between males and females trained with different types of modality; 2) multimodality did not lower males" STM of English vocabulary; and 3) Pease and Pease"s theory is not accepted. The determinants of their modality preference are the effectiveness of a certain type of modality, their learning habits and their school regulations.
