Asadi, Ibrahim A.; Asli-Badarneh, Abeer; Janaideh, Redab Al; Khateb, Asaid – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
This study investigated the strength of lexical and non-lexical processing among Arabic (L1) English (L3)-speaking children (fourth and fifth grades, N = 532) in two writing systems that vary in terms of transparency. Children were assessed using word reading, phonological and vocabulary measures. In Arabic, the study focused on standard form.…

Shang Jiang; Anna Siyanova-Chanturia – First Language, 2024
Recent studies have accumulated to suggest that children, akin to adults, exhibit a processing advantage for formulaic language (e.g. "save energy") over novel language (e.g. "sell energy"), as well as sensitivity to phrase frequencies. The majority of these studies are based on formulaic sequences in their canonical form. In…

Huang, Xin; Lin, Dan; Yang, Yiming; Xu, Yuhang; Chen, Qingrong; Tanenhaus, Michael K. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
While recent studies find that contextual diversity (CD) is a better determinant of visual word recognition than token frequency, there is a dearth of work comparing contextual diversity and token frequency in developing readers. In two sets of character and lexical decision experiments we examined token frequency and contextual diversity effects…

Polse, Lara R.; Reilly, Judy S. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
This investigation examined orthographic and semantic processing during reading acquisition. Children in first to fourth grade were presented with a target word and two response alternatives, and were asked to identify the semantic match. Words were presented in four conditions: an exact match and unrelated foil (STONE-STONE-EARS), an exact match…

Quémart, Pauline; Casalis, Séverine – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2014
We report two experiments that investigated whether phonological and/or orthographic shifts in a base word interfere with morphological processing by French 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders and adults (as a control group) along the time course of visual word recognition. In both experiments, prime-target pairs shared four possible relationships:…

Ventura, Paulo; Kolinsky, Regine; Pattamadilok, Chotiga; Morais, Jose – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2008
The influence of orthography on children's online auditory word recognition was studied from the end of Grade 4 to the end of Grade 9 by examining the orthographic consistency effect in auditory lexical decision. Fourth-graders showed evidence of a widespread influence of orthography in their spoken word recognition system; words with rimes that…
