Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a result, we found that automatization played important role to acquire Hiragana in addition to phonological awareness. We developed effective method to acquire Hiragana nearly perfect using strong cognitive abilities. We found that the brain part of processing in Kanji, most of children with developmental dyslexia have trouble in reading/spelling, was processed continuously from non verbal figure to verbal Kanji. We simulated Hiragana acuisition and difficcculty in acquiring using triangle model successfully.
