What Reading Disability? Evidence for Multiple Latent Profiles of Struggling Readers in a Large Russian Sibpair Sample with at Least One Sibling at Risk for Reading Difficulties
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kornilov, Sergey A.; Grigorenko, Elena L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
In this study, we performed a latent profile analysis of reading and related skills in a large (n = 733) sibpair sample of Russian readers at risk for reading difficulties. The analysis suggested the presence of seven latent profiles, of which two were characterized by relatively high performance on measures of spelling and reading comprehension…

Rakhlin, Natalia; Mourgues, Catalina; Logvinenko, Tatiana; Kornev, Alexander N.; Grigorenko, Elena L. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: To assess strengths and weaknesses of the reading level (RL) match approach and its potential to generate insights regarding the cognitive foundations of reading ability and disability. Method: We applied RL-match design to a sample of 2nd-6th graders reading a consistent orthography, Russian, using an "extreme phenotype"…

Phonotactic Constraints: Implications for Models of Oral Reading in Russian
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

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,…

P Is for Happiness, N Is for Sadness: Universals in Sound Iconicity to Detect Emotions in Poetry
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Auracher, Jan; Albers, Sabine; Zhai, Yuhui; Gareeva, Gulnara; Stavniychuk, Tetyana – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This article demonstrates the potential of sound iconicity for automatic text analysis. This study claims that--at least in poetic language--the ratio of plosive versus nasal sounds in a text predicts its emotional tone as it is perceived by readers; that is, poems that have a relatively high frequency of plosive sounds are more likely to express…

Eye Movements during Spoken Word Recognition in Russian Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Sekerina, Irina A.; Brooks, Patricia J. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
This study explores incremental processing in spoken word recognition in Russian 5- and 6-year-olds and adults using free-viewing eye-tracking. Participants viewed scenes containing pictures of four familiar objects and clicked on a target embedded in a spoken instruction. In the cohort condition, two object names shared identical three-phoneme…

The Perception of Phonological Quantity Based on Durational Cues by Native Speakers, Second-Language Users and Nonspeakers of Finnish
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ylinen, Sari; Shestakova, Anna; Alku, Paavo; Huotilainen, Minna – Language and Speech, 2005
Some languages, such as Finnish, use speech-sound duration as the primary cue for a phonological quantity distinction. For second-language (L2) learners, quantity is often difficult to master if speech-sound duration plays a less important role in the phonology of their native language (L1). By comparing the categorization performance of native…
