Beyersmann, Elisabeth; Mousikou, Petroula; Javourey-Drevet, Ludivine; Schroeder, Sascha; Ziegler, Johannes C.; Grainger, Jonathan – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2020
The present study examined cross-linguistic differences in morphological processing in the visual and auditory modality. French and German adults performed a visual and auditory lexical decision task that involved the same translation-equivalent items. The focus of the study was on nonwords, which were constructed in a way that made it possible to…

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…

Shalhoub-Awwad, Yasmin; Leikin, Mark – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2016
This study investigated the effects of the Arabic root in the visual word recognition process among young readers in order to explore its role in reading acquisition and its development within the structure of the Arabic mental lexicon. We examined cross-modal priming of words that were derived from the same root of the target…

Arciuli, Joanne; Monaghan, Padraic – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2009
We investigated probabilistic cues to grammatical category (noun vs. verb) in English orthography. These cues are located in both the beginnings and endings of words--as identified in our large-scale corpus analysis. Experiment 1 tested participants' sensitivity to beginning and ending cues while making speeded grammatical classifications.…
