Foulin, Jean Noel – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2005
The knowledge of letter names measured just before children enter school has been known for a long time as one of the best longitudinal predictors of learning to read in an alphabetic writing system. After a period during which the comprehensive investigation of this relationship was largely disregarded, there is now a growing interest in attempts…

Frost, Ram; Kugler, Tamar; Deutsch, Avital; Forster, Kenneth I. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
Most models of visual word recognition in alphabetic orthographies assume that words are lexically organized according to orthographic similarity. Support for this is provided by form-priming experiments that demonstrate robust facilitation when primes and targets share similar sequences of letters. The authors examined form-orthographic priming…

Chu-Chang, Mae; Loritz, Donald J. – 1976
Three main issues relating to the question of silent speech in reading are considered: (1) How do Chinese speakers process Chinese ideographs in short-term memory? (2) How is Chinese students' learning of written English affected by the transition to an alphabetic language? (3) Are the strategies for encoding written words in short-term memory…

Burnaby, Barbara J.; Anthony, Robert J. – 1979
This study examined the psycholinguistic implications of using either of two different types of orthography--syllabic and roman--in Native language programs for Cree children with regard to readability, learnability, and the transfer of reading skills to and from reading in an official language (English or French). This study can also be applied…

Gaffrey, Michael S.; Kleinhans, Natalia M.; Haist, Frank; Akshoomoff, Natacha; Campbell, Ashley; Courchesne, Eric; Muller, Ralph-Axel – Neuropsychologia, 2007
Language delay and impairment are salient features of autism. More specifically, there is evidence of atypical semantic organization in autism, but the functional brain correlates are not well understood. The current study used functional MRI to examine activation associated with semantic category decision. Ten high-functioning men with autism…

Tomanari, Gerson Y.; Sidman, Murray; Rubio, Adriana R.; Dube, William V. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2006
Five adult humans were tested for emergent conditional discriminations under rapid-responding contingencies. During four-comparison matching-to-sample baseline training (AB and AC), limited-hold contingencies for responding to samples and comparisons were gradually restricted to the shortest duration consistent with at least 95% accuracy and no…

Brabham, Edna G.; Murray, Bruce A.; Bowden, Shelly Hudson – Journal of Research in Childhood Education, 2006
This study compared literacy learning for kindergartners as 12 teachers read 10 popular alphabet books aloud, emphasizing meanings or phonemes, and used centers for independent practice with an alphabet book on audiotape or CD-ROM over a period of four weeks. Researchers taught half the teachers to read the books with an emphasis on phonemes…

Chastain, Garvin; and Others – 1983
G. Wolford's perturbation model of letter identification is designed to account for identification errors of briefly presented characters. Its chief assumptions are that features are extracted in parallel, that some of these features become perturbed or mislocalized, and that mislocalizations are more likely to occur in the direction of the fovea…

Lipski, John M. – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1975
The Gregg shorthand system is founded on formal and theoretical principles originating in the structure of the English language. An analysis of some aspects of the formal code of this system illuminates some interrelationships between the verbal and the written sign. (CHK)

McConkie, G. W.; And Others – 1985
Fourteen college students read passages displayed on a cathode-ray tube as their eye movements were monitored in a study that examined (1) whether letters that lie in the center of vision are used earlier in the fixation than letters further to the right, (2) how soon after a stimulus event that event can affect eye movement control, and (3) how…

Wijk, Axel – 1977
This book presents a transitional spelling system, called "Regularized Inglish," which the author proposes as an improved method of reading instruction in English-speaking countries. The system is a phonetic reading approach that eliminates the irregular spellings found in a large number of the most commonly used words in the English…
