Ulicheva, Anastasia; Coltheart, Max; Saunders, Steven; Perry, Conrad – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
The present article investigates how phonotactic rules constrain oral reading in the Russian language. The pronunciation of letters in Russian is regular and consistent, but it is subject to substantial phonotactic influence: the position of a phoneme and its phonological context within a word can alter its pronunciation. In Part 1 of the article,…

Kohnen, Saskia; Nickels, Lyndsey; Brunsdon, Ruth; Coltheart, Max – Journal of Research in Reading, 2008
This paper presents a treatment study with a developmental dysgraphic girl, KM, and addresses the mechanisms by which orthographic learning of spelling rules might occur. Before treatment, KM's spelling of words and nonwords was impaired. Analyses of spelling errors indicated poor knowledge of sound-to-letter correspondences. Treatment focused on…

Bates, Timothy C.; Castles, Anne; Luciano, Michelle; Wright, Margaret J.; Coltheart, Max; Martin, Nicholas G. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2007
We develop and test a dual-route model of genetic effects on reading aloud and spelling, based on irregular and non-word reading and spelling performance assessed in 1382 monozygotic and dizygotic twins. As in earlier research, most of the variance in reading was due to genetic effects. However, there were three more specific conclusions: the…

Perry, Conrad; Ziegler, Johannes C.; Coltheart, Max – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2002
Two nonword spelling and two orthographic awareness experiments examined production and awareness of sound-spelling relationships. Results of the nonword spelling experiments suggest people use phoneme-grapheme sized relationships when spelling nonwords. Orthographic awareness experiments suggest, under some circumstances, people can use larger…
