Letters Away from the Looking Glass: Developmental Trajectory of Mirrored and Rotated Letter Processing within Words
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tânia Fernandes; Sofia Velasco; Isabel Leite – Developmental Science, 2024
Discrimination of reversible mirrored letters (e.g., d and b) poses a challenge when learning to read as it requires overcoming "mirror invariance," an evolutionary-old perceptual tendency of processing mirror images as equivalent. The present study investigated "when," in reading development, mirror-image discrimination…

Electroencephalography Decoding of Chinese Characters in Primary School Children and Its Prediction for Word Reading Performance and Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Lui, Kelvin F. H.; Lo, Jason C. M.; Maurer, Urs; Ho, Connie S.-H.; McBride, Catherine – Developmental Science, 2021
Research on what neural mechanisms facilitate word reading development in non-alphabetic scripts is relatively rare. The present study was among the first to adopt a multivariate pattern classification analysis to decode electroencephalographic signals recorded for primary school children (N = 236) while performing a Chinese character decision…

Orthographic Consistency Influences Morphological Processing in Reading Aloud: Evidence from a Cross-Linguistic Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Mousikou, Petroula; Beyersmann, Elisabeth; Ktori, Maria; Javourey-Drevet, Ludivine; Crepaldi, Davide; Ziegler, Johannes C.; Grainger, Jonathan; Schroeder, Sascha – Developmental Science, 2020
The present study investigated whether morphological processing in reading is influenced by the orthographic consistency of a language or its morphological complexity. Developing readers in Grade 3 and skilled adult readers participated in a reading aloud task in four alphabetic orthographies (English, French, German, Italian), which differ in…

Not All Phonological Awareness Deficits Are Created Equal: Evidence from a Comparison between Children with Otitis Media and Poor Readers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Carroll, Julia M.; Breadmore, Helen L. – Developmental Science, 2018
Children with reading difficulties and children with a history of repeated ear infections (Otitis Media, OM) are both thought to have phonological impairments, but for quite different reasons. This paper examines the profile of phonological and morphological awareness in poor readers and children with OM. Thirty-three poor readers were compared to…
