The reading process is a highly composite cognitive task, which relies on brain systems that were originally devoted to other functions. The majority of studies in this area have implemented behavioral methodologies, which provide information concerning the entire cognitive sequence at the conclusion of processing only, in the reader??'s output. However, these measures cannot specify all of the covert component operations that contribute to reading, nor can they determine the relative processing times requi
