Taylor, Jessica Nelson; Perfetti, Charles A. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2016
Two experiments demonstrate that individual differences among normal adult readers, including lexical quality, are expressed in silent reading at the word level. In the first of two studies we identified major dimensions of variability among college readers and among words using factor analysis. We then examined the effects of these dimensions of…

Holliman, A. J.; Williams, G. J.; Mundy, I. R.; Wood, C.; Hart, L.; Waldron, S. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2014
A growing number of studies now suggest that sensitivity to the rhythmic patterning of speech (prosody) is implicated in successful reading acquisition. However, recent evidence suggests that prosody is not a unitary construct and that the different components of prosody (stress, intonation, and timing) operating at different linguistic levels…

Guan, Connie Qun; Ye, Feifei; Wagner, Richard K.; Meng, Wanjin – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2013
The goal of the present study was to examine the generalizability of a model of the underlying dimensions of written composition across writing systems (Chinese Mandarin vs. English) and level of writing skill. A five-factor model of writing originally developed from analyses of 1st and 4th grade English writing samples was applied to Chinese…

Anthony, Jason L.; Williams, Jeffrey M.; Aghara, Rachel G.; Dunkelberger, Martha; Novak, Barbara; Mukherjee, Anuja Divatia – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2010
Individual differences in abilities to form, access, and hone phonological representations of words are implicated in the development of oral and written language. This study addressed two important gaps in the literature concerning measurement of individual differences in phonological representation. First, we empirically examined the…

Olson, R. K.; And Others – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1991
Subjects measures of word recognition, phonological coding, and orthographic coding obtained from analyses of identical and fraternal twins to multivariate genetic analysis. Finds that genetic influences on individual differences in word recognition were more strongly related to genetic variance in phonological coding than in orthographic coding.…
