Thus, the neuro-cognitive phenotypes extracted from the speechless reader model reflect the phylogenetic distance between species.

We find that humans and baboons use similar representations but with different quantities. In contrast, pigeons rely more heavily on the integration of representation based on pixel-level information.

We use the speechless reader model, a transparent model of visual-orthographic processing based on the assumptions of predictive coding, to infer which representations are implemented in orthographic decisions.
