The sense of touch allows us to make a better connection between sight and hearing and therefore helps adults to learn to read. This is what has been shown by the team of Édouard Gentaz, CNRS researcher at the Laboratoire de Psychologie et Neurocognition in Grenoble (France). These results, published March 16th in the journal PloS One, should improve learning methods, both for children learning to read and adults learning foreign languages.
