In this paper, we survey current evidence on cognitive precursors of reading in different orthographies by reviewing studies with a cross-linguistic research design. Graphic symbol knowledge, phonological awareness, morphological and rapid automatized naming were found to be associated acquisition all investigated. However, apart from naming, association is mostly interactive, meaning that young children develop their awareness during development. Especially for involving phonologically...
Abstract Recently, there have been several reports of developmental analogues the specific orthographic processing deficits observed in acquired surface dyslexics (Goulandris & Snow ling, 1991; Hanley, Hastie, Kay, 1992). How ever, very little has discovered about w hat basic cognitive might be associated ith this particular kind reading disorder. This paper describes case MI, a 10-year-old boy high IQ and no known history neurological impairment. He demonstrates extremely poor performance...
Three experiments explored the nature of orthographic influences on performance phonological awareness tasks. Experiment 1 demonstrated that adults find it easier to perform phoneme deletions items where there is a direct correspondence between letters and target sounds (e.g., take /r[se text]/ from struggle) than not /w[see squabble). Analogous results were found in reversal task. Spelling production ability tended correlate more strongly with former type item latter, suggesting elevated...
Abstract We present administration details and normative data for a new version of the word nonword reading test originally developed by Castles Coltheart. The contains an expanded set items, with 40 each regular words, irregular words nonwords, rather than original 30 items type. extend upper-end difficulty range test, making it less susceptible to ceiling effects version. also incorporates stopping-rule, which makes time-consuming removes stress on children who can only read few items. is...
Masked priming studies with adult readers have provided evidence for a form-based morpho-orthographic segmentation mechanism that “blindly” decomposes any word the appearance of morphological complexity. The present investigated whether structural decomposition can be obtained developing readers. We used masked primed lexical decision design first adopted by Rastle, Davis, and New (2004), comparing truly suffixed ( golden–GOLD) pseudosuffixed mother–MOTH) prime–target pairs nonsuffixed...
The aims of this study were to (a) compare sight word training and phonics in children with dyslexia, (b) determine if different orders have effects on the reading skills dyslexia. One group ( n = 36) did 8 weeks (reading via grapheme–phoneme correspondence rules) then irregular words as a whole), one reverse 36), simultaneously for two 8-week periods 32). We measured (trained accuracy, untrained accuracy), (nonword nonword fluency), general (word fluency, comprehension). Sight led...
Abstract The aim of this study was to explore the reading and language skills that are associated with orthographic learning examine whether effects these factors influenced by word regularity. Grade 2 3 children learned phonology meaning novel words were subsequently exposed their orthography, either regular or irregular mappings. At participant level, phonological decoding skill, knowledge, vocabulary knowledge for both types. However, at an item correctly did not directly relate...
Abstract The self‐teaching hypothesis describes how children progress toward skilled sight‐word reading. It proposes that do this via phonological recoding with assistance from contextual cues, to identify the target pronunciation for a novel letter string, and in so doing create an opportunity self‐teach new orthographic knowledge. We present computational implementation of within dual‐route cascaded (DRC) model reading aloud, we explore decoding cues can work together enable accurate under...
Word recognition develops with such remarkable speed that, by the end of eighth grade, we expect children learning to read English know and recognize over 80,000 words (Adams, 1990). At a basic level, beginning readers must establish system of mappings or correspondences between letters or graphemes written phonemes spoken (Ehri, 1992), it is generally thought that this alphabetic decoding is underpinned phonological skills (Brady & Shankweiler, 1991; Byrne, 1998; Goswami Bryant, To become...
Two prominent dual-route computational models of reading aloud are the cascaded (DRC) model, and connectionist dual-process plus (CDP+) model. While sharing similarly designed lexical routes, two differ greatly in their respective nonlexical route architecture, such that they often on nonword pronunciation. Neither model has been appropriately tested for pronunciation accuracy to date. We argue empirical data people is ideal benchmark testing. Data were gathered from 45...
