Three experiments investigated the effects of rime consistency on reading and spelling among developing readers ranging in
age from 7 to 11 years. Experiment 1 found that children read words with inconsistent feedforward mappings between orthography
and phonology (O → P) less accurately than consistent words. OP consistency interacted with chronological age, word frequency
and age-of-acquisition (AoA). The effect of OP consistency on reading was larger for younger children than for older children
and OP consistency had an effect for low frequency words and late-acquired words only. Experiment 2 found an effect of feedforward
consistency between phonology and orthography (P → O) on children’s spelling but no interaction between PO consistency and
AoA. Experiment 3 showed that the effects of feedforward consistency are independent of feedback consistency. Our results
challenge models of reading and spelling that assume feedforward consistency effects are influenced by the frequency of exposure
to words only and we suggest that interactions between consistency and AoA depends on the ratio of consistent to inconsistent
OP mappings. 相似文献

Stress assignment to Italian polysyllabic words is unpredictable, because stress is neither marked nor predicted by rule.
Stress assignment, especially to low frequency words, has been reported to be a function of stress dominance and stress neighbourhood.
Two experiments investigate stress assignment in sixth-grade, skilled and dyslexic, readers. In Experiment 1, skilled readers
were not affected by stress dominance. Dyslexic children, although affected by word frequency, made more stress regularisation
errors on low frequency words. In Experiment 2, stress neighbourhood affected low frequency word reading irrespective of stress
dominance for both skilled and dyslexic readers. Words with many stress friends were read more accurately than words with
many stress enemies. It is concluded that, in assigning stress, typically developing and developmental dyslexic Italian readers
are sensitive to the distributional properties of the language. 相似文献

The effect of two training procedures on the improvement of reading accuracy in poor readers was examined in relation to their initial reading level. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 60 poor readers. Poor readers were assigned to a control group that received no training, or one of two training conditions. One training concentrated on the words the children read correctly (successes), the other on the words they read incorrectly (failures). They repeatedly read bisyllabic Dutch words, half of the training words involving context-sensitive spelling rules (vowel degemination or consonant gemination). Some children repeatedly read their successes, others their failures. The training used a computerized flashcards format. The exposure duration of the words was varied to maintain the accuracy rate at a constant level. In general, children who received training improved their reading accuracy and reading speed of trained words, and reading accuracy of untrained words, more than the control group. Which training focus is superior, depends on the reading level of the child and the type of words used. For children with a low initial reading level, to improve reading accuracy of bisyllabic words that follow context-sensitive spelling rules, a training focus on failures was superior over a training focus on successes. For children with a high initial reading level, improvement of reading speed was largest in a training on successes. Evidently, the improvement of word reading skills depends both on the children’s level of reading competence and on the type of training. 相似文献

The effect of two training procedures on the development of reading speed in poor readers is examined. One training concentrates on the words the children read correctly (successes), the other on the words they read incorrectly (failures). Children were either informed or not informed about the training focus. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 79 poor readers. They repeatedly read regularly spelled Dutch consonant?Cvowel?Cconsonant words, some children their successes, others their failures. The training used a computerized flashcards format. The exposure duration of the words was varied to maintain an accuracy rate at a constant level. Reading speed improved and transferred to untrained, orthographically more complex words. These transfer effects were characterized by an Aptitude-Treatment Interaction. Poor readers with a low initial reading level improved most in the training focused on successes. For poor readers with a high initial reading level, however, it appeared to be more profitable to practice with their failures. Informing students about the focus of the training positively affected training: The exposure duration needed for children informed about the focus of the training decreased more than for children who were not informed. This study suggests that neither of the two interventions is superior to the other in general. Rather, the improvement of general reading speed in a transparent orthography is closely related to both the children??s initial reading level and the type of words they practice with: common and familiar words when training their successes and uncommon and less familiar words with training their failures. 相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to compare the development of orthographic representations in children learning to read English and Greek. Nonsense words that either shared both orthography and phonology at the level of the rhyme with real words (comic-bomic), phonology only (comic-bommick), or neither (dilotaff) were created for each orthography. Experiment 1 compared children’s reading of bisyllabic and trisyllabic nonsense words likebomic vs.bommick, taffodil vs.tafoddyl, and found a significant facilitatory effect of orthographic rhyme familiarity for English only. Experiment 2 compared children’s reading of trisyllabic nonsense words that either shared rhyme phonology with real words (tafoddyl) or did not (dilotaff). Significant facilitation in reading accuracy was found for shared rhyme phonology in English, with a significant speed advantage in Greek. These results are interpreted in terms of the level of phonology that is represented in the orthographic recognition units being developed by children who are learning to read more and less transparent orthographies. 相似文献

The present study investigated the involvement of lexical knowledge in pseudoword reading by Italian children aged 8–10. In
both lexical decision and reading aloud tasks, inhibitory effects were found on pseudowords derived from high-frequency words
in comparison to pseudowords derived from low-frequency words. A group of adult readers showed inhibitory effects on pseudowords
based on high-frequency words only in lexical decision. The inhibitory effects were interpreted as due to interference on
pseudoword processing caused by lexical activation of a high-frequency base-word. The results support the view that lexical
information is exploited even in the development of reading of a transparent orthography. 相似文献

In an opaque orthography like English, phonological coding errors are a prominent feature of dyslexia. In a transparent orthography like Spanish, reading difficulties are characterized by slower reading speed rather than reduced accuracy. In previous research, the reading speed deficit was revealed by asking children to read lists of words. However, speed in list reading sums the time required to prepare an utterance, reaction time (RT), with the time required to say it, response duration (RD). Thus, the dyslexic speed deficit in transparent orthographies could be driven by slow RTs, by slow RDs, or both. The distinction is especially important if developmental readers rely on phonological coding to achieve lexical access because the whole word would have to be encoded before it could be identified. However, while the factors that affect reading RT have been extensively investigated, no attention has been paid to RD. We studied the performance of typically developing and dyslexic Spanish children in an oral reading task. We analysed the impact of word frequency and length on reading accuracy, RT, and RD. We found that accuracy, RT, and RD were affected by word frequency and length for both control and dyslexic readers. We also observed interactions between effects of reader group—dyslexic, typically developing (TD) younger or TD older readers—and effects of lexicality, frequency, and word length. Our results show that children are capable of reading aloud using lexical and sub-lexical coding processes in a transparent orthography. 相似文献

This study examines the effects of orthographic neighborhood size (N-size) in relationship with word frequency on the reading aloud of children with and without dyslexia whose language has a consistent orthography. Participants included 22 Italian fourth-grade children with dyslexia and 44 age-matched typically developing readers. Children with dyslexia read low-frequency words with high N-size faster than words that had no neighbors; by contrast, typically developing readers showed no N-size effects, irrespective of word frequency. The facilitating effect of N-size on low-frequency word reading in children with dyslexia indicates that they benefit from lexical activation spreading from dense neighborhoods. 相似文献

We examined the nature of and factors related to adolescents’ reading difficulties in a highly transparent orthography. We compared word, pseudoword, and text reading speed and accuracy, rapid naming (RAN) and phonological processing between poor readers (n?=?80) and normally developing readers (n?=?189). Reading problems were manifested in reading speed and in timed pseudoword reading accuracy. RAN predicted speed, and phonological processing predicted accuracy of reading in both groups. Among poor readers, RAN also explained reading accuracy. For the normally developing sample, phonological processing also predicted reading speed. 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate whether Arabic orthography differs from the Latin orthography of English texts regarding context effects among poor and normal readers. Usually, Arabic texts are presented without vowels for normal readers, and with vowels for younger and beginning readers. The Arabic vowels are mostly not alphabetic letters, but strokes above and/or below the letters. The subjects were 60 native Arab eighth graders, 20 poor readers and 40 normal readers of Arabic. Subjects were required to read vowelled and unvowelled words with and without context in Arabic. The results showed that normal as well as poor readers significantly improved their reading accuracy when they read vowelled and unvowelled words in context. Further, normal readers significantly improved their reading of vowelled and unvowelled words in context more than did the poor readers. The findings of this study illustrated the significance of cross-cultural linguistic considerations for the development of comprehensive reading theory. 相似文献

The acquisition of reading skill was studied in 503 Italian children in first to eighth grade using a task that required reading
of lists of words and non-words. Analysis of the metric characteristics of the measures indicated that reading speed but not
accuracy was normally distributed across all ages considered. The role of specific effects (length, word frequency, and lexicality)
versus global factors in reading speed was examined using the Rate–Amount Model (RAM). A global processing factor accounted
for a large portion of the variance. Specific influences of length, frequency, and lexicality were detected in different periods
of development over and above the global processing factor. Length modulated performance at early stages of learning and progressively
less later on; in the case of non-words, the effect of length was large but did not change as a function of grade. The lexicality effect, present at all ages for high frequency words and by third grade for low frequency words increased with reading practice
indicating a progressive differentiation in the ability to read words and non-words. Finally, the effect of word frequency
was highest in third grade and then decreased. These findings are discussed in terms of their relevance for reading acquisition
in a language with transparent orthography and their implications for evaluating developmental reading deficits. Overall,
it is proposed that RAM is a useful tool for disentangling the role of specific versus global factors in reading development. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to examine the contribution of lexical and nonlexical processes to skilled reading
and spelling in Persian. Persian is a mixed orthography that allows one to study within one language characteristics typically
found in shallow orthographies as well as those found in deeper orthographies. 61 senior high-school students (mean age = 17;
8, SD = 4 months) attending schools in Iran were tested on reading and spelling of words and nonwords. The word stimuli differed
in terms of reading transparency (transparent when all phonemes have corresponding letters vs. opaque when short vowels were
not marked with a letter) and spelling polygraphy (nonpolygraphic phonemes vs. polygraphic phonemes). The nonwords were transparent
and nonpolygraphic. The reading results showed that both transparent and opaque words were read faster than nonwords, and
that transparent words were read faster than opaque words. Moreover, both transparent and opaque words were affected by word
frequency. These findings suggest that skilled readers of Persian relied on lexical processes to read words. In contrast,
the spelling results failed to show a word-advantage effect suggesting that skilled spellers of Persian rely on nonlexical
processes to spell words. Moreover, orthographic complexity also affected spelling. Specifically, nonpolygraphic words were
spelled faster than polygraphic words for both transparent and opaque words. Taken together, the findings showed that skilled
reading and spelling in Persian rely on different underlying processes. 相似文献

The boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975) was used to examine whether high level information affects preview benefit during Chinese reading. In two experiments, readers
read sentences with a 1-character target word while their eye movements were monitored. In Experiment 1, the semantic relatedness between the target word and the preview word was manipulated so that there were semantically related
and unrelated preview words, both of which were not plausible in the sentence context. No significant differences between
these two preview conditions were found, indicating no effect of semantic preview. In Experiment 2, we further examined semantic preview effects with plausible preview words. There were four types of previews: identical, related & plausible, unrelated & plausible, and unrelated & implausible. The results revealed a significant effect of plausibility as single fixation and gaze duration on the target region were
shorter in the two plausible conditions than in the implausible condition. Moreover, there was some evidence for a semantic
preview benefit as single fixation duration on the target region was shorter in the related & plausible condition than the unrelated & plausible condition. Implications of these results for processing of high level information during Chinese reading are discussed. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to assess the role that phonological, orthographic, and contextual sources of information play
in a group of adults who were learning to read compared to adult skilled readers. Participants read short paragraphs that
contained a correct homophone, an incorrect homophone, or a spelling control. Target words were orthographically similar or
dissimilar, and they appeared in context that predicted the target or was neutral with respect to the target. The pattern
of data obtained for skilled readers was consistent with past work (Rayner et al., Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory and Cognition 24(2), 476–497, 1998). Skilled readers showed no reading time differences between the correct homophone and the incorrect homophone,
as long as the two were orthographically similar, but reading times on these words were faster than the spelling control condition.
The pattern of data for the adults who were learning to read was different. These readers were actually better at noticing that an incorrect version of the homophone was present. Importantly, we did find consistent significant differences
between the incorrect homophone condition and the spelling control condition. This suggests the adults who were learning to
read use phonological codes during word recognition, but they do so less efficiently than skilled readers. 相似文献

Thai, a tonal language, has its own distinctive alphabetic orthography. The study investigates reading and spelling development
in Thai children, with an aim of examining the grain size that is predominantly used when reading and spelling. Furthermore,
word and nonword lists were developed to examine the acquisition of the complex system of vowels and tone rules in Thai. Reading
and spelling of words and nonwords were assessed in 60 Thai children ranging in age from 7 to 9 years 8 months from Grade(s)
1, 2, and 3. A lexicality effect was found for both reading and spelling. Spelling lagged behind reading in the Grade 1 children.
Development rapidly increased between the youngest Grade 1 children and the older Grade 2 and 3 children. For word reading
there were significantly more lexical errors than phonological errors. Beginning readers appear to predominantly use a larger
lexico-syllabic grain size to read Thai. 相似文献

The phonologically transparent Persian orthography is normally transcribed with two distinct spellings; words spelled with
vowels (letters) transcribed as a fixed part of the spelling (transparent) and words spelled with vowels (diacritics) omitted
(opaque). Three groups of Persian readers, namely developmental dyslexics (n=29, mean age=9.4, SD=1.4), unimpaired readers matched on age (n=49, mean age=9, SD=1.3), and reading age (n=23, mean age=7.2, SD=0.4) with the dyslexics performed on a short-term memory verbal test. The time taken to read aloud lists of words with opaque
and transparent spellings, the errors made on reading the words in each list, and the number of correctly recalled words in
each list was subjected to statistical analysis. The results showed that transparent words as a whole were read more accurately
than opaque words. However, recall of words was best for opaque words for the older group of unimpaired readers compared to
the transparent words, while the opposite was true for dyslexics and unimpaired reading age matched participants. The implications
of these results are discussed. 相似文献

Three experiments are reported that investigate the cognitive processes underlying contextual and isolated word reading. In Phase 1, undergraduate participants were exposed to 75 target words under three conditions. The participants generated 25 words from definitions, read 25 words in context and read 25 in isolation. In Phase 2, volunteers completed either an explicit recall task (Experiment 1), an implicit word stem completion task (Experiment 2) or both tasks (Experiment 3). Our findings provide converging evidence that contextual and isolated word reading elicit different patterns of cognitive processing. Specifically, Experiments 1–3 demonstrated that words read in context were remembered similarly to words generated from definitions: words from both conditions were recalled more frequently in the surprise memory task and selected less often to complete the word stems in the implicit memory task. The opposite pattern was noted for words read in isolation. Reading in context is discussed in terms of its greater reliance on semantic processing, whereas isolated word reading is discussed in relation to perceptually driven processes. 相似文献

Representing written vowels in university students with dyslexia compared with normal hebrew readers
The study investigates dyslexic and normal Hebrew readers’ perception of words containing a vowel letter in different orthographic
and morphological contexts. In the first experiment, 72 undergraduate education students (half diagnosed with reading disabilities
and half normal readers) were asked to judge pointed words with different morphological structures with and without the grapheme
W. Half of the words had consistent (obligatory) W and half had inconsistent (optional) W. In the second experiment, the same
procedure was repeated using the same words without pointing marks. Response latencies and accuracy were measured. In both
experiments, dyslexic readers did less well than normal readers. They had lower scores on accurate lexical decisions and they
took more time over these decisions. They also exhibited some deviant patterns, indicating that they cannot make use of orthographic
and morphological cues that are available to normal readers, especially in the pointed experiment. Processing pointed words
placed a heavier cognitive burden on the dyslexic readers. These findings are in line with other studies of adult dyslexic
reader/writers, and support a reading / spelling processing model, which claims that internal orthographic representations
of words are increasingly strengthened with each exposure during reading, but not all graphemes are strengthened equally.
The general implication is that the ambiguities that exist in the relationships between orthography, phonology, and morphology
underlie spelling knowledge, and are particularly difficult for dyslexic readers. 相似文献

The present report with two complementary experiments examined the productive knowledge of derivational morphology in 75 grade
4, 5, and 6 “poor” readers further divided into those performing better, or worse, inboth reading and spelling ((R + S +) or R − S −)), or better in the one or the other (mixed) subgroups. Experiment 1 required
individual subjects to vocalize rapidly the derived forms of words when primed with 40 target base words in four derivational
conditions or levels embedded in sentence frames shown on the computer screen. Experiment 2 required the reverse process of
vocalizing the base forms of words when primed with 40, complex derived forms in the same four morphology conditions embedded
in sentence frames shown on the computer screen. Results of the analysis of the reaction times show a developmental trend
and that the subgroups of poor readers used different mechanisms in producing derived or base forms of words according to
the complexity of the orthographic and/or phonological changes needed in the derivational process. The important role of morphemic
structure and origin of words in instruction is emphasized. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine (1) the performance levels and the magnitude of performance difference between students with reading disabilities (RD) and skilled readers when reading a typical classroom text; (2) the hypothesis that students with RD have specific difficulty using context in such a way that reading fluency is affected; and (3) whether RD subtypes may be differentiated according to performance on contextual and context‐free reading tasks. Two groups of fourth graders (85 skilled readers and 24 students with RD) completed a standardized test of reading comprehension, read aloud a folktale, and read aloud the folktale's words in a randomly sequenced list. Performance was scored as correct rate and percentage correct. Based on the number of words per idea unit in the passage, we also estimated the rate at which reader groups encountered and processed text ideas. Compared to the RD group, skilled readers read three times more correct words per minute in context, and showed higher accuracy and rates on all measures. Both context and isolated word‐reading rates were highly sensitive to impairment. We found no evidence for RD subtypes based on these measures. Results illustrate differences in reading levels between the two groups, the temporal advantage skilled readers have in linking text ideas, how word reading differs as a function of task format and performance dimension, and how limited word‐identification skills (not comprehension) produce contextual reading difficulties for students with RD. 相似文献
