Inoue, Tomohiro; Georgiou, George K.; Hosokawa, Miyuki; Muroya, Naoko; Kitamura, Hiroyuki; Tanji, Takayuki; Imanaka, Hirofumi; Oshiro, Takako; Parrila, Rauno – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
We examined whether developing reading skills in the two scripts of Japanese, syllabic Hiragana and morphographic Kanji, had differential effects on underlying cognitive skills. One hundred ninety-one Japanese children (97 girls, 94 boys; M[subscript age] = 100.23 months) were assessed on rapid automatized naming (RAN), vocabulary, morphological…

Georgiou, George K.; Vieira, Ana Paula Alves; Rothou, Kyriakoula M.; Kirby, John R.; Antoniuk, Andrea; Martinez, Dalia; Guo, Kan – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: We performed a meta-analysis to examine if children with dyslexia experience deficits in morphological awareness (MA) and if the effect sizes are influenced by different moderators (age, aspect of MA measured, type of MA task, language, modality input, semantic knowledge, and selection criteria). Method: We reviewed 40 studies published…

Georgiou, George K.; Parrila, Rauno; Papadopoulos, Timothy C. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2016
The purpose of this study was to contrast three models of the RAN-reading relationship derived from the most prominent theoretical accounts of how RAN is related to reading: the phonological processing, the orthographic processing and the speed of processing accounts. Grade 4 Greek-speaking children (n = 208; 114 girls, 94 boys; mean…

Manolitsis, George; Georgiou, George K.; Inoue, Tomohiro; Parrila, Rauno – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
We examined the direction of the relation between morphological awareness and reading/spelling skills in 2 languages varying in orthographic consistency (English and Greek) and whether word reading fluency and vocabulary mediate the relation between morphological awareness and reading comprehension. One-hundred and 59 English-speaking Canadian and…

Muroya, Naoko; Inoue, Tomohiro; Hosokawa, Miyuki; Georgiou, George K.; Maekawa, Hisao; Parrila, Rauno – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2017
We examined the relationship between morphological awareness and word reading skills in syllabic Hiragana and morphographic Kanji. Participants were 127 Grade 1 Japanese-speaking children who were followed until Grade 2. The results showed that Grade 1 morphological awareness was uniquely and comparably associated with word reading skills in both…

Georgiou, George K.; Das, J. P. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
The present study aimed to examine the nature of the working memory and general cognitive ability deficits experienced by university students with a specific reading comprehension deficit. A total of 32 university students with poor reading comprehension but average word-reading skills and 60 age-word-matched controls with no comprehension…

Georgiou, George K.; Hirvonen, Riikka; Liao, Chen-Huei; Manolitsis, George; Parrila, Rauno; Nurmi, Jari-Erik – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2011
We examined the importance of children's achievement strategies in different literacy outcomes in three languages varying in orthographic consistency: Chinese, English, and Greek. Eighty Chinese-speaking Taiwanese children, 51 English-speaking Canadian children and 70 Greek children were assessed on measures of phonological awareness, rapid…
