Application of psycholinguistic insights initiated a long career researching how children learn to read words. A theory was proposed claiming that spellings of individual words are stored in memory when their graphemes become bonded to phonemes in their pronunciations along with meanings, and this enables readers to read stored words automatically…

Ehri, Linnea C.; Rohwer, Jr., William D. – J Verb Learning Verb Behav, 1969
Working from previous findings that learning of paired nouns improves when the nouns are joined by a verb rather than a preposition, and by a preposition rather than a conjunction, the present study investigates the factors influencing this form-class effect and offers an explanation in terms of transformational grammar.

Peer reviewedEhri, Linnea C. – Journal of Child Language, 1976
To explore adjective language development and examine its relationship to seriation, several tasks were given to 40 children aged 4-8. Comprehension and production of adjective forms were measured--vocabulary, coordination, comparison. Ability to order objects by size was used to assess intuitive-level seriation. (CHK)

This investigation was intended to study the effects of some linguistic variables on child and adult memories for sentences when recall was prompted by nouns embedded in the sentences. Its purpose was to examine for developmental differences in sentence processing systems expected by psycholinguistic theory and research. A group of 64 subjects,…

Ehri, Linnea C.; And Others – 1978
The three articles in this publication discuss the following topics: (1) a psycholinguistic perspective on beginning reading that focuses on the child's linguistic system, rather than on the information processing strategies he or she learns to use in reading, and identifies word recognition as the major hurdle faced by the beginner; (2) the issue…
