Vogelzang, Margreet; Fuhrhop, Nanna; Mundhenk, Tobias; Ruigendijk, Esther – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: German is exceptional in its use of noun capitalisation. It has been suggested that sentence-internal capitalisation as in German may benefit processing by specifically marking a noun and thus a noun phrase (NP). However, other cues, such as a determiner, can also indicate an NP. The influence of capitalisation on processing may thus…

Coch, Donna; Hua, Jianjun; Landers-Nelson, Allison – Journal of Research in Reading, 2020
Background: Evidence indicates that fluent readers automatically decompose morphologically complex words. However, few studies have directly compared processing of stimuli comprising different types of morphemes, particularly bound and free morphemes. Methods: Eighty fluently reading young adults participated in a lexical decision task with word…

Webman-Shafran, Ronit – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Background: The current study explored the effect of implicit prosody on syntactic parsing in the silent reading of an ambiguous double prepositional phrase (PP) construction in Hebrew by employing the Implicit Prosody Hypothesis test (Fodor, 2002). Method: The parsing preferences of the construction in silent reading were tested and compared to…

Reilly, Ronan G. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1985
Highlights ways in which standard information processing models of language, and specifically of reading, are deficient. Deficiencies are considered under four headings: (1) theoretical rigour, (2) the interaction of different levels of information during reading; (3) the parallel nature of much of human information processing, and (4) reading…

Donald, David R. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1981
Analyzes a shift in the view of the reading process and suggests a modified view of the learning-to-read process as a constructive process. (MKM)

Seymour, Philip H. K.; Duncan, Lynne G.; Bolik, Fiona M. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1999
Replicates a study of a "common unit" task which includes modifications to the original procedure. Confirms the pattern observed in the original study: beginning readers learning by a mixed method can identify shared phonemes but not shared rimes in the common unit task. Discusses implications.

Freebody, Peter; Freiberg, Jill – Journal of Research in Reading, 2001
Explores issues arising from the long-standing theoretical and empirical attention to reading as a specifiable set of psychological processes, and the consequences of this attention for parents' and educators' deliberations and practices. Concludes that theories of reading need to deal fundamentally with the practices that learners, teachers and…

Mommers, M. J. C. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1987
Reports a study indicating that decoding speed and spelling are distinguishing factors in reading comprehension, but that differences in comprehension cannot be attributed solely to differences in decoding speed. (HTH)

Thompson, G. Brian – Journal of Research in Reading, 1984
Concludes that there is no adequate support for recommending that teachers attempt to increase the incidence of a child's self-corrections when reading. (FL)

Burion, Jean – Journal of Research in Reading, 1980
Argues that the teaching of initial reading should focus upon the beginning reader rather than on teaching procedures and that factors in the individual child such as motivation, experience, oral language, cognitive development, and pace of learning should be considered. (FL)

Donald, D. R. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1980
Presents reasons for the current upsurge in interest in oral reading errors, including theoretical shifts in how the process of learning to read is to be viewed and evaluated. Stresses the difference between descriptive and linguistic error analysis and develops leads that have emerged from studies using linguistic error analysis. (Author/FL)

Underwood, Geoffrey; And Others – Journal of Research in Reading, 1982
Concludes that skilled adult readers may use the meanings of words ahead of fixation to enrich their interpretation of a text or use those words more simply as markers to guide further eye movements to the location of the next useful fixation. (FL)

Ulijn, Jan – Journal of Research in Reading, 1980
Reviews research done in the 1970s on the graphic, morphological, syntactic, textual, and semantic levels in foreign language reading and compares it with first language learning research. Speculates on future developments that may result in more efficient teaching programs and test devices in foreign language reading. (FL)

Moore, Phillip J. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1983
Investigates the development of children's metacognitive knowledge about reading, its relationship to reading performance, and the influence of using two different interviewing techniques for eliciting information about reading. (FL)

Oakhill, Jane; And Others – Journal of Research in Reading, 1986
Reports on two experiments that explore the comprehension difficulties of children with normal word recognition ability. Concludes that skilled readers engage in more constructive processing and that comprehension difficulties are not the result of a defective working memory. (SRT)
