Duranovic, Mirela; Gangl, Melanie; Finke, Sabrina; Smajlagic, Senka; Landerl, Karin – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
A substantial body of research has noted morphological priming effects in visual word recognition in deep orthographies, but it is still unclear whether similar effects exist in transparent orthographies. In the present experiment, we investigated the development of morphological decomposition in visual word recognition in the phonologically…

Chan, Jessica S.; Wade-Woolley, Lesly; Heggie, Lindsay; Kirby, John R. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
We examined the unique contributions of prosodic awareness and morphological awareness to school-aged children's word reading and reading comprehension. A total of 110 elementary-age children from Grades 4 and 5 participated in the current study. To measure prosodic awareness, children were asked to listen to and reflect on the stress patterns of…

Lin, Yu-Cheng; Lin, Pei-Ying; Yeh, Li-Hao – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Previous studies on spoken word production have shown that native English speakers used phoneme-sized units (e.g., a word-initial phoneme, C) to produce English words, and native Mandarin Chinese speakers employed syllable-sized units (e.g., a word-initial consonant and vowel, CV) as phonological encoding units in Chinese. With spoken word…

Yip, Michael C. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2016
Two word-spotting experiments were conducted to examine the question of whether native Cantonese listeners are constrained by phonotactics information in spoken word recognition of Chinese words in speech. Because no legal consonant clusters occurred within an individual Chinese word, this kind of categorical phonotactics information of Chinese…

McBride, Catherine; Pan, Dora Jue; Mohseni, Fateme – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
We review cognitive-linguistic approaches to conveying meaning, sound, and orthographic information across scripts in order to highlight the impact of variability in written and spoken language on learning to read and to write words. With examples of word recognition and word writing from different scripts, including Chinese, Arabic, Persian, and…

Campos, Ana Duarte; Mendes Oliveira, Helena; Soares, Ana Paula – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
The role of syllables as a sublexical unit in visual word recognition and reading is well established in deep and shallow syllable-timed languages such as French and Spanish, respectively. However, its role in intermediate stress-timed languages remains unclear. This paper aims to overcome this gap by studying for the first time the role of…

Li, Chuchu; Wang, Min; Davis, Joshua A.; Guan, Connie Qun – Journal of Research in Reading, 2019
The present study investigated the representation and processing of segmental and tonal information in visual Chinese word recognition in native and non-native Chinese readers. Two experiments using homophone judgement paradigm were conducted. When judging two Chinese characters (Experiment 1), both groups showed difficulties when the segmental…

Zaretsky, Elena – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2020
The role of verbal working memory (VWM) in early language and literacy development among typical and atypical monolingual children exposed to different orthographies is well established. Less is known how English Language Learners (ELLs) allocate their VWM resources in early stages of literacy acquisition in English (L2). This study examined the…

Kidd, Joanna C.; Shum, Kathy K.; Wong, Anita M.-Y.; Ho, Connie S.-H. – Journal of Child Language, 2017
Auditory processing and spoken word recognition difficulties have been observed in Specific Language Impairment (SLI), raising the possibility that auditory perceptual deficits disrupt word recognition and, in turn, phonological processing and oral language. In this study, fifty-seven kindergarten children with SLI and fifty-three language-typical…

Ma, Fengyang; Ai, Haiyang – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2018
The present study examines when second language (L2) learners read words in the L2, whether the orthography and/or phonology of the translation words in the first language (L1) is activated and whether the patterns would be modulated by the proficiency in the L2. In two experiments, two groups of Chinese learners of English immersed in the L1…

Hsiao, Janet H.; Cheung, Kit – Cognitive Science, 2016
In Chinese orthography, the most common character structure consists of a semantic radical on the left and a phonetic radical on the right (SP characters); the minority, opposite arrangement also exists (PS characters). Recent studies showed that SP character processing is more left hemisphere (LH) lateralized than PS character processing.…

Rueckl, Jay G. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2016
The strategy underlying most computational models of word reading is to specify the organization of the reading system--its architecture and the processes and representations it employs--and to demonstrate that this organization would give rise to the behavior observed in word reading tasks. This approach fails to adequately address the variation…

Loveall, Susan J.; Conners, Frances A. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2016
The primary goal of this study was to examine the word identification domain of the Simple View of Reading in participants with Down syndrome (DS) by comparing them to participants with typical development (TD) matched on word identification ability. Two subskills, phonological recoding and orthographic knowledge, were measured. Results revealed…

Llompart, Miquel; Reinisch, Eva – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
The present study investigated whether the ability to encode the sounds of difficult second-language (L2) contrasts into novel nonnative lexical representations is modulated by the phonological form of the words to be learned. In 3 experiments, German learners of English were trained on word-picture associations with either novel minimal pairs…

Mohammed R. A. A. Jouhar – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The purpose of this meta-synthesis is to formulate a hypothesis concerning the importance of diacritical marks in Arabic word recognition for typically developed Arabic readers. I propose that the importance of diacritical marks in Arabic word recognition varies as a function of grade level, stimuli frequency, and text affiliation. Stimuli…
