Contextual Facilitation in a Letter Search Task Depends on How the Prime Is Processed.

Peer reviewed

Smith, Marilyn Chapnik – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1979

Contextual facilitation appears to depend upon the mode of analysis of the prime. If the prime is analyzed as a meaningful unit, facilitation occurs. However, if it is subjected to a more discrete, letter-by-letter analysis, the priming effect vanishes. (Author/CP)

From Print to Sound: Reading Ability and Order Information.

Peer reviewed

Mason, Mildred; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1981

Highly skilled and less skilled readers read words and numbers aloud as rapidly as possible. Less skilled readers were slower and less accurate on both tasks showing that the need to encode and process order information may be related to reading disabilities. This hypothesis was tested by using paired-associate learning. (Author/RD)
