Includes "The First Law of Modeling".}, abstract={Connectionist models of word reading attempt to explain the computational mechanisms underlying this important skill. The goal is an integrated theory of reading and its brain bases, with the computational model as the interface between the two. The models are governed by computational principles that differ considerably from naïve intuitions but nonetheless account for many aspects of normal and impaired (dyslexic) reading.}, language={English}, keywords={reading; connectionist models; dyslexia}, URL={http://lcnl.wisc.edu/publications/archive/34.pdf}, }
