Lee, Sungyoon; Woltering, Steven; Prickett, Christopher; Shi, Qinxin; Sun, Huilin; Thompson, Julie L. – Reading Psychology, 2022
The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between elementary students' reading skills and their online reading (i.e., real-time reading) behaviors during silent sentence processing. Thirty-five students participated in this study and their eye movements were recorded during sentence reading tasks. The effects of students'…

Hessel, Annina K.; Schroeder, Sascha – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
This experiment investigated interactions between lower- and higher-level processing when reading in a second language (L2). We conducted an eye-tracking experiment with the within-subject manipulation inconsistency (to tap higher-level coherence-building) crossed with a within-subject manipulation of word-processing difficulty (to alter the ease…

Hessel, Annina K.; Nation, Kate; Murphy, Victoria A. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
This experiment investigated comprehension monitoring in children learning English as an additional language (EAL) compared to monolinguals. Sixty-three 9-10-year-old children read texts containing an internal inconsistency (e.g. a barking kitten vs. barking puppy) while their eye movements were monitored. Standardized tests measured word reading…

Beyersmann, Elisabeth; Wegener, Signy; Nation, Kate; Prokupzcuk, Ayako; Wang, Hua-Chen; Castles, Anne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
It is well known that information from spoken language is integrated into reading processes, but the nature of these links and how they are acquired is less well understood. Recent evidence has suggested that predictions about the written form of newly learned spoken words are already generated prior to print exposure. We extend this work to…

Mor, Billy; Prior, Anat – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Reading efficiently in a second language (L2) is a crucial skill, but it is not universally achieved. Here we ask whether L2 reading efficiency is better captured as a language specific skill or whether it is mostly shared across L1 and L2, relying on general language abilities. To this end, we examined word frequency and predictability effects in…
