NCT ID NCT05854082
Summary
This study investigated whether the physical act of speaking is connected to reading ability, especially in adults with dyslexia. Researchers tested 56 adults (with and without dyslexia) by having them read words while performing different mouth tasks, like sucking a lollipop or having their mouth numbed with lidocaine. They measured reading speed, accuracy, and brain activity to see if disrupting speech feedback changed reading performance.
