But when we trip over a word, it forces the brain to engage a different processing area: the dorsal parietal cortex, where the letter-by-letter reading mechanism is based.
So, there you are. Change the font on your eReader to Gothic and become a genius.  |
If this is true then making each letter a different font would make us all have Eidetic Memory.
