Word recognition the integration of the different kinds of information occurs. The accuracy with which readers recognize words depends on the area of the retina that is stimulated. Reading in English selectively trains specific regions of the left hemiretina for processing this type of visual information, making this part of the visual field optimal for word recognition. As words drift from this optimal area, word recognition accuracy declines. Because of this training, effective neural organization develops in the corresponding left cerebral hemisphere. Eyes make brief, unnoticeable movements called saccades approximately three to four times per second. Saccades are separated by fixations, which
Word Up (video game) object of the Brain Game is to create a number of words to reach a point’s target. Once that target is reached then the length of the various words made is converted into new blocks (each 3 letter word = 1 block, each 4 letter word = 2 blocks etc.). These new blocks are then added, a new points target is set and the game continues in this fashion until you have run out of blocks or cannot make any words with those left. On 19 November 2008 Word Soup was launched on the Xbox 360 Community Games channel. It
