Schroeder, Sascha; Häikiö, Tuomo; Pagán, Ascensión; Dickins, Jonathan H.; Hyönä, Jukka; Liversedge, Simon P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
In this study, we investigated developmental aspects of eye movements during reading of three languages (English, German, and Finnish) that vary widely in their orthographic complexity and predictability. Grapheme-phoneme correspondence rules are rather complex in English and German but relatively simple in Finnish. Despite their differences in…

Hulme, Charles; Caravolas, Marketa; Malkova, Gabriela; Brigstocke, Sophie – Cognition, 2005
Two studies investigated whether knowledge of specific letter-sound correspondences is a necessary precursor of children's ability to isolate phonemes in speech. In both studies, Czech and English children reliably isolated phonemes for which they did not know the corresponding letter. These data refute the idea that phoneme manipulation ability…

Powell, Daisy; Plaut, David; Funnell, Elaine – Journal of Research in Reading, 2006
The Plaut, McClelland, Seidenberg and Patterson (1996) connectionist model of reading was evaluated at two points early in its training against reading data collected from British children on two occasions during their first year of literacy instruction. First, the network's non-word reading was poor relative to word reading when compared with the…

Caravolas, Marketa; Volin, Jan; Hulme, Charles – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2005
Two studies investigated the importance of phoneme awareness relative to other predictors in the development of reading and spelling among children learning a consistent orthography (Czech) and an inconsistent orthography (English). In Study 1, structural equation models revealed that Czech (n=107) and English (n=71) data were fitted well by the…
