Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dunabeitia, Jon Andoni; Dimitropoulou, María; Estevez, Adelina; Carreiras, Manuel – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2013
The visual word recognition system recruits neuronal systems originally developed for object perception which are characterized by orientation insensitivity to mirror reversals. It has been proposed that during reading acquisition beginning readers have to "unlearn" this natural tolerance to mirror reversals in order to efficiently…

Training Preschool Children to Recognize Phonemes in Words
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marsh, George; Mineo, R. James – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
Using a forced-choice matching-to-sample procedure five factors were varied: position of phoneme; contrast between words; type of phoneme; redundant visual cue; and allophonic variation. Performance improved significantly after four days of training for all but allophonic variation. Redundant visual cue greatly improved performance during training…

Learning To Read from Television: The Effects of Using Captions and Narration.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Linebarger, Deborah L. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2001
Investigated caption use, sound, and reading behavior of 76 children who had just completed 2nd grade.

Facilitating Instruction through Interdisciplinary Efforts: The Role of Visual Communication Design in Developing Instructional Materials for Reading.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Colberg, Susan; Snart, Fern – B.C. Journal of Special Education, 1992
This paper reviews graphophonic factors underlying the development of reading competence and their relationship to functional aspects of reading. The paper suggests that attention be paid to aspects of visual form, such as the use of typographic and linguistic cues, to improve the operational effectiveness and motivational appeal of materials for…
