Sungbong Bae; Hye K. Pae; Kwangoh Yi – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
While the theoretical models of morphological processing in Roman alphabets indicate prelexical activation, a model established in Korean suggests postlexical activation. To extend the model of Korean morphological processing, this study examined within-scriptal (Hangul-Hangul prime-target pairs) and cross-scriptal (Hanja-Hangul prime-target…

Tso, Ricky Van-yip; Au, Terry Kit-fong; Hsiao, Janet Hui-wen – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Holistic processing has been identified as an expertise marker of face and object recognition. By contrast, reduced holistic processing is purportedly an expertise marker in recognising orthographic characters in Chinese. Does holistic processing increase or decrease in expertise development? Is orthographic recognition a domain-specific exception…

Asadi, Ibrahim A.; Asli-Badarneh, Abeer; Janaideh, Redab Al; Khateb, Asaid – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
This study investigated the strength of lexical and non-lexical processing among Arabic (L1) English (L3)-speaking children (fourth and fifth grades, N = 532) in two writing systems that vary in terms of transparency. Children were assessed using word reading, phonological and vocabulary measures. In Arabic, the study focused on standard form.…

Jin Wang; Marc F. Joanisse; James R. Booth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: It is often assumed that phonological awareness only reflects children's phonological skill. However, orthographic representations have been found to be automatically involved during phonological awareness tasks, which we refer to as automatic orthographic activation. Although previous longitudinal neural studies have addressed how…

Pattamadilok, Chotiga; Nelis, Aubéline; Kolinsky, Régine – Annals of Dyslexia, 2014
Studies on proficient readers showed that speech processing is affected by knowledge of the orthographic code. Yet, the automaticity of the orthographic influence depends on task demand. Here, we addressed this automaticity issue in normal and dyslexic adult readers by comparing the orthographic effects obtained in two speech processing tasks that…

Polse, Lara R.; Reilly, Judy S. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
This investigation examined orthographic and semantic processing during reading acquisition. Children in first to fourth grade were presented with a target word and two response alternatives, and were asked to identify the semantic match. Words were presented in four conditions: an exact match and unrelated foil (STONE-STONE-EARS), an exact match…

Ho, Fuk-chuen; Yan, Zi – Educational Psychology, 2014
This study investigates the Chinese reading patterns of students with learning disabilities (LD). The performances of students with LD in reading the three categories of Chinese characters were particularly analysed: regular, irregular, and pseudo-characters. Fifty-three students with LD in reading and 44 students without LD of Year 4 were…

Olulade, Olumide A.; Flowers, D. Lynn; Napoliello, Eileen M.; Eden, Guinevere F. – Brain and Language, 2013
The visual word form system (VWFS), located in the occipito-temporal cortex, is involved in orthographic processing of visually presented words (Cohen et al., 2002). Recent fMRI studies in children and adults have demonstrated a gradient of increasing word-selectivity along the posterior-to-anterior axis of this system (Vinckier et al., 2007), yet…

Yang, Jianfeng; Shu, Hua; McCandliss, Bruce D.; Zevin, Jason D. – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2013
Learning to read in any language requires learning to map among print, sound and meaning. Writing systems differ in a number of factors that influence both the ease and the rate with which reading skill can be acquired, as well as the eventual division of labor between phonological and semantic processes. Further, developmental reading disability…

Deacon, S. Helene; Chen, Xi; Luo, Yang; Ramirez, Gloria – Journal of Research in Reading, 2013
We present the results of an empirical test of the hypothesis that transfer of orthographic processing to reading occurs when the scripts under acquisition are written with the same unit (specifically, the same alphabet). We tested 97 Spanish-English bilingual children in Grades 4 and 7. We measured mother's education level, verbal and nonverbal…

Casalis, Severine; Leuwers, Christel; Hilton, Heather – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2013
This study examined syntactic comprehension in French children with dyslexia in both listening and reading. In the first syntactic comprehension task, a partial version of the Epreuve de Comprehension syntaxico-semantique (ECOSSE test; French adaptation of Bishop's test for receptive grammar test) children with dyslexia performed at a lower level…

Asfaha, Yonas Mesfun; Kurvers, Jeanne; Kroon, Sjaak – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2009
The study investigated reading in four African languages that use either syllabic Ge'ez (Tigrinya and Tigre languages) or alphabetic Latin scripts (Kunama and Saho). A sample of 385 Grade 1 children were given letter knowledge, word reading, and spelling tasks to investigate differences at the script and language levels. Results showed that the…

Thompson, G. Brian; McKay, Michael F.; Fletcher-Flinn, Claire M.; Connelly, Vincent; Kaa, Richard T.; Ewing, Jason – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2008
Two studies were conducted across three countries to examine samples of beginning readers without systematic explicit phonics who had reached the same level of word reading accuracy as comparison samples with high and moderate explicit phonics. Had they employed any compensatory learning to reach that level? Four hypotheses of compensatory…

Wang, Min; Yang, Chen; Cheng, Chenxi – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2009
This study investigated the concurrent contributions of phonology, orthography, and morphology to biliteracy acquisition in 78 Grade 1 Chinese-English bilingual children. Conceptually comparable measures in English and Chinese tapping phonological, orthographic, and morphological awareness were administered. Word reading skill in English and…

James, Deborah; Rajput, Kaukab; Brinton, Julie; Goswami, Usha – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2009
In the current study, we explore the influence of orthographic knowledge on phonological awareness in children with cochlear implants and compare developmental associations to those found for hearing children matched for word reading level or chronological age. We show an influence of orthographic knowledge on syllable and phoneme awareness in…
