Orthographic and phonological neighborhood effects within a priming context
Two experiments were completed investigating orthographic neighborhood size in the context of phonological neighborhood size and priming, at various SOAs. Experiment 1 exhibited that words from larger phonological neighborhoods were processed more quickly than those that are not. Also, targets were …

Reading skills in Down syndrome: an examination of orthographic knowledge
… purpose of the present study was to examine orthographic knowledge in a sample of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) in comparison to typically developing (TD) children matched on word identification ability. Phonological recoding was also compared across groups. A secondary purpose of the …

The Effect of Learning on the Perception of Orthographic Symbols.
The process of reading requires that an efficient transition be made from a visual symbol to a word name and to its meaning. For most adults this process is relatively easy. The experienced reader does not have to consciously spell out every letter or word to arrive at the meaning of a sentence; …

The Effects Of Orthographic Cueing On The Speechreadability Of Sentences
… this study we measured the effect of providing orthographic cues to the content of the Central Institute for the Deaf (CID) Sentences. Three experimental topics were addressed. In each experiment the benefit of the cues on speechreading was determined by comparison with the uncued speechreading …

Orthographic Skills in English Language Learners and Students with Learning Disabilities
This study investigates orthographic skills in students with learning disabilities (LD), English Language Learning (ELL) students and their typical-achieving, native-English speaking (TYP) peers to help in the differentiation of these groups, and ultimately improve LD assessment for linguistically …

Assessment of Phonological and Orthographic Differences in Adults With Reading Disabilities
<p>There is debate surrounding how to effectively identify and distinguish reading disabilities from other deficits in college populations. Although several theories have proposed a positive relationship between nonword decoding weaknesses and higher intelligence levels, currently there is no …

Learning to read: Effects of memory consolidation on orthographic and lexical learning
… the learning and generalisation of novel orthographic knowledge. Meanwhile, laboratory-based approaches have proven valuable in overcoming the methodological challenges of studying reading acquisition, i.e. learning letter-sound knowledge. This thesis combines laboratory-based orthographic …

Orthographic Representations and Working Memory Properties in the Spelling Process: A Neuropsychological Analysis
… is to study the sub-processes occurring at the orthographic working memory level and the interaction between graphemic representations and working memory that holds these representations active during spelling. Chapter 1, after a brief description of the two-routes spelling model adopted in this …

Examining the Effectiveness of an Orthographic-Based Intervention for Children with Reading Disabilities
… in either phonological or word-discrimination (orthographic) processes. Continuing in this line of research, a study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of an orthographic-based intervention design to improve reading ability for children with orthographic skill deficits. The study took …

Hemispheric differences in orthographic and semantic processing as revealed by event-related potentials
… of items elicited similar and typical effects of orthographic neighborhood size, with larger N400s for orthographically regular items (words and pseudowords) than for irregular items (acronyms and meaningless illegal strings). However, hemispheric differences emerged on repetition effects. When …

Chinese children's use of orthographic information and analogy process in learning to read Chinese
… investigate whether children use the strategy of orthographic analogy to read new characters, whether character knowledge and phonological knowledge contribute to the use of orthographic analogy. The major results are summarized in the followings.

Rhyming ability, phoneme identity, letter-sound knowledge, and the use of orthographic analogy by prereaders
… and later reading achievement. The use of orthographic analogy, the ability to make inferences from similarities in spelling to similarities in sound, was proposed as the mechanism to explain this relationship (Goswami & Bryant, 1990). Literature was presented that suggested the need for …

The Development of Taiwanese Children's Ability to Infer Orthographic Information From Semantic and Phonological Information
… In Chinese, characters are the basic orthographic units and generally correspond to syllables and morphemes. The orthographic relation between characters in different compound words is highly influenced by their semantic and phonological properties. For example, the character …

The Influence of Orthographic Experiences on the Development of Functional Phonological Unit in Spoken Word Production
… dissertation project examined the influence of orthographic experiences on the development of the functional phonological unit in spoken word production in native Mandarin-speaking children. Functional phonological unit refers to the first selectable phonological unit after lexical selection in …

When is a corner like corn? Morpho-orthographic segmenting skills in children who struggle with reading
… (corner-CORN). A dual-route theory of orthographic processing suggests that these words are processed differently; The former through coarse-grained processing, where the word is processed at once, and the latter through fine-grained, where each letter and its location is processed. For …
