What Underlies the Deficit in Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) in Adults with Dyslexia? Evidence from Eye Movements
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Araújo, Susana; Huettig, Falk; Meyer, Antje S. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
This eye-tracking study explored how phonological encoding and speech production planning for successive words are coordinated in adult readers with dyslexia (N = 22) and control readers (N = 25) during "rapid automatized naming" (RAN). Using an object-RAN task, we orthogonally manipulated the word-form frequency and phonological…

Learning to Read Bilingually Modulates the Manifestations of Dyslexia in Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Lallier, Marie; Thierry, Guillaume; Barr, Polly; Carreiras, Manuel; Tainturier, Marie-Josephe – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018
According to the Grain Size Accommodation hypothesis (Lallier & Carreiras, 2017), learning to read in two languages differing in orthographic consistency leads to a cross-linguistic modulation of reading and spelling processes. Here, we test the prediction that bilingualism may influence the manifestations of dyslexia. We compared the deficits…

The Process of Stress Assignment in Reading Aloud: Critical Issues from Studies on Italian
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sulpizio, Simone; Burani, Cristina; Colombo, Lucia – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2015
In polysyllabic languages the assignment of stress is crucial for understanding the reading process. Here we review empirical evidence, drawn mainly from studies on Italian, and discuss critical issues in understanding reading. We first discuss the lexical and sublexical mechanisms responsible for stress assignment and propose that the former is…

Same Same, but Different: Word and Sentence Reading in German and English
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Rau, Anne K.; Moll, Kristina; Moeller, Korbinian; Huber, Stefan; Snowling, Margaret J.; Landerl, Karin – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2016
The current study compared eye fixation patterns during word and sentence processing in a consistent and an inconsistent alphabetic orthography. German and English children as well as adults matched on word reading ability read matched sentences while their eye fixation behavior was recorded. Results indicated that German children read in a more…

On the Nonsmooth, Nonconstant Velocity of Braille Reading and Reversals
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hughes, Barry; McClelland, Amber; Henare, Dion – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2014
Relative to print reading, braille-reading finger movements are held to be of more constant speed, with continuous and exhaustive contact with all words. However, the continuity of movements is intermittent in two distinct ways: (a) readers reverse direction and reread material already encountered and (b) the continual fluctuations of velocity…

Onset and Rime Structure Influences Naming but Not Early Word Identification in Children and Adults.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Booth, James R.; Perfetti, Charles A. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2002
Assesses the role of the onset-rime structure in visual word recognition. Finds experiments 1 through 3 showed no evidence for the importance of onset-rime in children (2nd through 6th graders) or adults; experiment 4 with adults found onset-rime structure is important in oral reading. Suggests the onset-rime structure may be an important unit in…
