Understanding the onset and trajectory of age-related difficulties in reading: A visual and cognitive perspective
Reading is a fundamental life skill that underpins many economic, cultural, and social aspects of life. It is concerning, therefore, that numerous studies indicate that reading becomes significantly slower and more effortful during older age (Zhang et al., 2022). . Read more
