Expanding on the Linguistic Relativity Hypothesis (i.e., the idea that language affects the way we think), this volume proposes the ?Script Relativity Hypothesis? (i.e., the idea that the script in which we read affects the way we think) by offering a unique perspective on the effect of script (alphabets, morphosyllabaries, or multi-scripts) on our attention, perception, and problem-solving. Once we become literate, fundamental changes occur in our brain circuitry to accommodate the new demand for resources. The powerful effects of literacy have been demonstrated by research on literate versus illiterate individuals, as well as cross-scriptal transfer, indicating that literate brain networks function differently, depending on the script being read. This book identifies the locus of differences between the Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans, and between the East and the West, as the neural underpinnings of literacy. To support the ?Script Relativity Hypothesis?, it reviews a vast corpus of empirical studies, including anthropological accounts of human civilization, social psychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, applied linguistics, second language studies, and cross-cultural communication. It also discusses the impact of reading from screens in the digital age, as well as the impact of bi-script or multi-script use, which is a growing trend around the globe. As a result, our minds, ways of thinking, and cultures are now growing closer together, not farther apart. 410 0$aLiteracy Studies, Perspectives from Cognitive Neurosciences, Linguistics, Psychology and Education,$x2214-0018 ;$v21 606 $aLiteracy 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aLiteracy 606 $aLanguage Education 606 $aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics 615 0$aLiteracy. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 14$aLiteracy. 615 24$aLanguage Education. 615 24$aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics. 676 $a374.0124 686 $aEDU018000$aEDU029020$aLAN009000$2bisacsh 700 $aPae$b Hye K$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0851599 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910424948603321 996 $aScript Effects as the Hidden Drive of the Mind, Cognition, and Culture$91901334 997 $aUNINA
