Arnon, Tamar; Lavidor, Michal – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
Idioms entail a competition between bottom-up and top-down activations of literal and figurative meanings. The present study explored the involvement of cognitive control in processing Hebrew ambiguous idioms. Fifty subjects have completed a self-paced reading task and a response inhibition, stop-signal task (SST). Subjects read 26 matched pairs…

Mads Poulsen; Athanassios Protopapas; Holger Juul – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Purpose: This study investigated how correlations between rapid automatized naming (RAN) and reading depend on characteristics of the stimuli. RAN tasks using stimuli with high phonological demands were predicted to be the strongest correlates of decoding efficiency, while high semantic demands were predicted to lead to stronger correlations with…

Shuo Ban; Xi Lan; Ziming Li; Yongchun Mao – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Primary Scientific Literature (PSL) significantly contributes to cultivating students' scientific literacy. However, students' visual strategies while reading PSL remain unclear. This study utilized eye-tracking technology to clarify students' visual attention allocation and fixation transactions during PSL reading, and explored their associations…

Nguyen, Tin Q. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Learning to read is an important milestone in children's development. Factors in the home environment is been linked to the behavioral and neural correlates of reading, but further work is needed to unpack the underlying mechanisms. The home literacy environment (HLE) plays a role in children's reading and language development, while parental…

Smith, Shelby L.; Ward, Richard T.; Allen, Laura K.; Wormwood, Jolie B.; Mills, Caitlin – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
In today's society, we are constantly absorbing information via text (e.g., news, social media), much of which may be affectively charged. However, to date, little is known about how the affective framing of the text itself may give rise to various affective experiences "during" reading. We examined how subtle changes to wording…

Clark, Catherine; Guediche, Sara; Lallier, Marie – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Reading involves mapping combinations of a learned visual code (letters) onto meaning. Previous studies have shown that when visual word recognition is challenged by visual degradation, one way to mitigate these negative effects is to provide "top-down" contextual support through a written congruent sentence context. Crowding is a…

Lee, Sungyoon; Woltering, Steven; Prickett, Christopher; Shi, Qinxin; Sun, Huilin; Thompson, Julie L. – Reading Psychology, 2022
The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between elementary students' reading skills and their online reading (i.e., real-time reading) behaviors during silent sentence processing. Thirty-five students participated in this study and their eye movements were recorded during sentence reading tasks. The effects of students'…

Lidia Altamura; Cristina Vargas; Ladislao Salmerón – Review of Educational Research, 2025
Previous research has evidenced a strong positive relationship between leisure print reading habits and reading comprehension across the lifespan. The rapid evolution of new forms of leisure digital reading could modify such a relationship. This meta-analysis extends previous research by analyzing the relationship between leisure digital reading…
