Kandel, Sonia; Peereman, Ronald; Grosjacques, Geraldine; Fayol, Michel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
This study examined the theoretical controversy on the impact of syllables and bigrams in handwriting production. French children and adults wrote words on a digitizer so that we could collect data on the local, online processing of handwriting production. The words differed in the position of the lowest frequency bigram. In one condition, it…

Ashby, Jane; Martin, Andrea E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2008
Two experiments examined the nature of the phonological representations used during visual word recognition. We tested whether a minimality constraint (R. Frost, 1998) limits the complexity of early representations to a simple string of phonemes. Alternatively, readers might activate elaborated representations that include prosodic syllable…

Kandel, Sonia; Alvarez, Carlos J.; Vallee, Nathalie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
This research focused on the syllable as a processing unit in handwriting. Participants wrote, in uppercase letters, words that had been visually presented. The interletter intervals provide information on the timing of motor production. In Experiment 1, French participants wrote words that shared the initial letters but had different syllable…
