Acheson, Daniel J.; MacDonald, Maryellen C. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2011
Research on written language comprehension has generally assumed that the phonological properties of a word have little effect on sentence comprehension beyond the processes of word recognition. Two experiments investigated this assumption. Participants silently read relative clauses in which two pairs of words either did or did not have a high…

Georgiou, George K.; Das, J. P.; Hayward, Denyse V. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2008
The purpose of this study was to compare the contribution of two different versions of working memory to word reading and reading comprehension in relation to phonological awareness and rapid naming speed. Fifty children were administered two measures of working memory, namely an adaptation of the Daneman and Carpenter sentence span task and…

Pulido, Diana – Applied Linguistics, 2007
The study examines the impact of topic familiarity and passage sight vocabulary on lexical inferencing and retention. Independent variables include (a) a topic familiarity questionnaire, and (b) a passage sight vocabulary test. A repeated-measures design was used with a cross-sectional sample of 35 adult L2 learners of Spanish. Ss read narratives…

Royer, James M.; Cunningham, Donald J. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1981
Reading comprehension must involve an interaction between the reader's world knowledge and the incoming linguistic message. After examining the measurement of reading comprehension from this perspective, we conclude that existing tests are likely to be unsatisfactory for the purposes of assessing educational gain and diagnosing reading difficulty.…

Tokimoto, Shingo – Language and Speech, 2005
This paper experimentally examines the effects of the case-markings and the constraint on the assignments and the receptions of thematic roles in Japanese sentence processing. A self-paced reading experiment was carried out with syntactically well-controlled Japanese sentences including homonyms locally ambiguous between nouns and verbs. The…

Gijsel, Martine A. R.; van Bon, Wim H. J.; Bosman, Anna M. T. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2004
This study focused on the feasibility of a group-administered paper-and pencil lexical-decision test as a plausible alternative or supplementary tool for the assessment of reading skills. Lexical-decision tests and oral-reading tests were administered to 130 Dutch students from primary grades 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. Correlations were moderate to high…

Guron, Louise Miller; Lundberg, Ingvar – Dyslexia, 2004
A comparative investigation of word reading efficiency indicates that different strategies may be used by English and Swedish early readers. In a first study, 328 native English speakers from UK Years 3 and 6 completed a pen-and-paper word recognition task (the "Wordchains" test). Results were analysed for frequency and type of errors…

Paribakht, T. Sima – RELC Journal: A Journal of Language Teaching and Research, 2004
The role of grammatical knowledge in second language (L2) lexical processing is far from clear. Providing evidence from a recent introspective study, this paper seeks to demonstrate the significant contribution that such knowledge can make to inferring the meanings of unfamiliar words while reading, and to possible consequent acquisition of L2…
