Hess, Stefan; Mousikou, Petroula; Schroeder, Sascha – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
In this study, we investigated effects of morphological processing on handwriting production in beginning writers of German. Children from Grades 3 and 4 were asked to copy words from a computer screen onto a pen tablet, while we recorded their handwriting with high spatiotemporal resolution. Words involved a syllable-congruent visual disruption…

Layes, Smail; Bouakkaz, Torkia – British Journal of Special Education, 2022
The present study explored whether phonological awareness (PA), morphological awareness (MA) and visual attention (VA) independently predict word and pseudoword reading accuracy in native Arabic-speaking children from grades 4 and 5. A total of 141 participants took part in the study, and were divided into two groups of readers with (n = 30) and…

Antzaka, Alexia; Acha, Joana; Carreiras, Manuel; Lallier, Marie – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
The goal of the paper was to investigate whether morphological units -- stems and suffixes -- influence orthographic processing by modulating visual attention demands to the task. Orthographic processing was measured with a visual one-back task requiring letters to be detected within pseudowords not including stems/suffixes, or containing real…

Mesquita, Ana; Carvalhais, Lénia; Limpo, Teresa; Castro, São Luís – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
This study investigates spelling abilities of 189 second, third, and fourth graders using a word and pseudoword dictation task in European Portuguese. We analyzed the effect of orthographic complexity on spelling accuracy and the moderating role of length (two vs. three syllables), lexicality (words vs. pseudowords), and grade (second, third, and…
