The Psychology of Reading reviews what has been learned about skilled reading and dyslexia using research on one of the most important but often overlooked languages and writing systems – Chinese. It provides an overview of the Chinese language and writing systems, discusses what is known about the cognitive and neural processes that support the skilled reading of Chinese, as well as its development and impairment, and describes the computer models that have been developed to understand these topics. It is written in an accessible way to appeal to anyone with an interest in cognitive psychology, language, or education.

Erik D. Reichle is a Professor of Cognitive Psychology at Macquarie University, Australia. His research interests include computer models of reading, the cognitive and neural systems that support skilled reading, and how those systems are affected by different writing systems.  He is the author of Computational Models of Reading: A Handbook (2021). Lili Yu is a Lecturer at Macquarie University, Australia. Her research uses eye tracking and other behavioral methods to understand the cognitive processes that support the skilled reading of Chinese, and how those processes might differ across languages and writing systems.
