Abstract
The primary systems hypothesis of written language processing postulates that orthographic information is processed by the same brain regions recruited for visual object recognition. We conducted two experiments in order to examine whether common visual processing regions are engaged in reading, spelling, and non-orthographic language task. The left mid fusiform gyrus was activated not only in orthographic processing during both written language tasks, but also in recognition of pictures of objects. Our results suggest that orthographic processing is supported by the general visual processing region rather than a specialized brain region dedicated to reading or spelling.
