Abstract

The teaching or learning process of reading as second language for deaf population, who are users of the language of signs, is permeated by several questions that seek to answer the low performance observed in this cognitive activity. In this activity, there are recognized psychological, neurocognitive and environmental factors, which are vital for the success of the process. The research aims to describe the areas of the brain that activate when a user of an illiterate language performs a literal reading in his/her second language. It is set up based on a qualitative approach, with a descriptive type, through a single case study, using for the collection of information a quantitative electroencephalography or cerebral mapping. The behaviour of the record throughout the application, presented a remarkable change that matches with the temporal lobe, areas of hearing association. In the absence of memory traces with phonological information, there is not a grapheme–phoneme relationship, that is to say, there is no evidence of a transformation of the written word in the phonological representation of it as a way to access the mental lexicon. These phonological data have been replaced by optical–space information which is directly fed from visual perception or indirectly fed from the generation of visual imaging.
