Question

Why is it reading is a neurophysiological process?

Answer 1

I have never been asked this question, but using my common sense and my background in reading, I would say that reading involves seeing letters, words and paragraphs, hearing sounds of letters, words and syllables, understanding or comprehending what one reads (which involves a number of thinking skills).

So the neuro would be the brain work which is connected to the physiological act of hearing, seeing and speaking the words.
