Kinoshita, Sachiko; De Wit, Bianca; Norris, Dennis – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
In 2 variants of the color-word Stroop task, we compared 5 types of color-neutral distractors--real words (e.g., "HAT"), pseudowords (e.g., "HIX"), consonant strings (e.g., "HDK"), symbol strings (e.g., #$%), and a row of Xs (e.g., "XXX")--as well as incongruent color words (e.g., "GREEN" displayed…

Jones, Manon W.; Snowling, Margaret J.; Moll, Kristina – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
Reading fluency is often predicted by rapid automatized naming (RAN) speed, which as the name implies, measures the automaticity with which familiar stimuli (e.g., letters) can be retrieved and named. Readers with dyslexia are considered to have less "automatized" access to lexical information, reflected in longer RAN times compared with…
