Xiaochen Sun addressed a lecture on "Visual vocabulary processing and reading" to the 2019 undergraduate students. The dean of the department Prof. Fuzhen Si, deputy dean Prof. Zhongru Xiong, young teacher Wenying Wang and teacher of the Officer of Educational Affairs Xiaoning Cao attended the class. 
The Site of Teaching Observation Meeting Firstly, Xiaochen Sun summarized and reviewed the content related to "speech perception", and then introduced ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics.

The Course Introduction Session Secondly, Xiaochen Sun explained the theory of "Visual Word Recognition" from Praxiology. The first part of the course is about three cognitive models of VWR from the perspective of neurolinguistics (Automatic Sequence Search Model, Logogen Model and TRACE Model). The second part is about the neural basis of VWR, the local integrated detection model and the VWFA Region by a number of cutting-edge research and experimental results in this field. She made the theory close to life and easier to understand. 
The Content of the Course Xiaochen Sun then explained the theory of "VVR". The third part of the course introduced the cognitive model of visual vocabulary reading, and presents the academic research on Dyslexia, Cerebral Cortex Damage Area in epileptic patients, traditional Two-channel Theory, Three-way Theory and Two-channel waterfall Theory Respectively.
