Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Posner et al. found that different brain regions are involved in passive reading tasks (such as reading a book silently) versus word-generation tasks (such as coming up with a list of words starting with a certain letter). This suggests that the brain uses distinct processes for different aspects of reading.
