Abstract
In this fMRI study, students read expository science texts for comprehension of basic STEM concepts while their BOLD responses and eye movements were recorded. High-skilled readers showed stronger connectivity among brain regions important for integrating semantic representation and building event representation. Graph-theoretical network measures of conceptual relations in the text also correlated with activity in inferior parietal and dorsolateral prefrontal regions, indicating text comprehension through semantic integration and working memory.
