Effects of Task Instructions on Predictive Eye Movements and Word Recognition during Second Language Sentence Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Aine Ito – Language Learning, 2025
This study tested whether encouraging prediction enhances prediction in second language (L2) speakers. L2 English speakers listened to English sentences like "The woman … will read/buy one of the newspapers" while viewing the target (a newspaper) and distractor objects (a rose, a bowl, and a mango) on a screen and clicked on the target…

The Mirror Reflects More for "Genial" than for "Casual": Right-Asymmetry Bias on the Visual Word Recognition of Words Containing Non-Reversal Letters

Soares, Ana Paula; Lages, Alexandrina; Velho, Mariana; Oliveira, Helena M.; Hernández-Cabrera, Juan – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Soares, Lages, Oliveira, and Cabrera-Hernández (2019) recently showed that the mirror-letter interference effect observed for words containing reversal letters was reliable for words containing left-oriented mirror-letters as 'd', but not for words containing right-oriented mirror-letters as 'b', thus indicating that the directionality of the…

Phonological Consistency Effects in Chinese Sentence Reading
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pan, Jinger; Laubrock, Jochen; Yan, Ming – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
In two eye-tracking experiments, we investigated the processing of information about phonological consistency of Chinese phonograms during sentence reading. In Experiment 1, we adopted the error disruption paradigm in silent reading and found significant effects of phonological consistency and homophony in the foveal vision, but only in a late…

Phonological Effects in Visual Word Recognition: Evidence from the Processing of Two Types of Hebrew Acronyms
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Peleg, Orna; Norman, Tal; Bergerbest, Dafna – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
To investigate phonological effects in visual word recognition, a visual lexical decision task was used in which the critical stimuli were two types of highly familiar Hebrew acronyms: 'phonological' acronyms that are conventionally pronounced as single words via letter-to-sound translation (?"? (d"?) = /da?/), and 'lexical' acronyms…

The Role of Segmental and Tonal Information in Visual Word Recognition with Learners of Chinese
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Li, Chuchu; Wang, Min; Davis, Joshua A.; Guan, Connie Qun – Journal of Research in Reading, 2019
The present study investigated the representation and processing of segmental and tonal information in visual Chinese word recognition in native and non-native Chinese readers. Two experiments using homophone judgement paradigm were conducted. When judging two Chinese characters (Experiment 1), both groups showed difficulties when the segmental…

Can Contingency Learning Alone Account for Item-Specific Control? Evidence from within- and Between-Language ISPC Effects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Atalay, Nart Bedin; Misirlisoy, Mine – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
The item-specific proportion congruence (ISPC) manipulation (Jacoby, Lindsay, & Hessels, 2003) produces larger Stroop interference for mostly congruent items than mostly incongruent items. This effect has been attributed to dynamic control over word-reading processes. However, proportion congruence of an item in the ISPC manipulation is…
