Head-free reading of horizontally and vertically arranged texts.

Parameters of eye and head movements and their coordination in reading horizontally and vertically arranged texts were compared. Reading was faster for horizontally arranged than for vertically arranged texts by 24%, primarily due to larger gaze ...

The effects of familiarity, orthographic neighbourhood density, letter-length and graphemic complexity on childrens reading accuracy.

Six to seven year-old children, divided into two groups according to reading ability, read items designed to examine the effect of orthographic characteristics on reading accuracy. Two experiments were carried out using familiar words and nonwords as ...

Why misinformation is more likely to be recognised over time: A source monitoring account.

Although memory for actual events tends to be forgotten over time, memory for misinformation tends to be retrieved at a stable rate over long delays or at a rate greater than that found immediately after encoding. To examine whether source monitoring ...

Word order in sentence processing: an experimental study of verb placement in German.

We examine the question of whether the human comprehension device exhibits word-order preferences during on-line sentence comprehension. The focus is on the positioning of finite verbs and auxiliaries relative to subjects and objects in German. Results ...

Orthographic neighbors and visual word recognition.

Two lexical decision experiments, using words that were selected and closely matched on several criteria associated with lexical access provide evidence of facilitatory effects of orthographic neighborhood size and no significant evidence of inhibitory ...

Eye movements and processing stages in reading: relative contribution of visual, lexical, and contextual factors.

The independent and the combined influence of word length, word frequency, and contextual predictability on eye movements in reading was examined across processing stages under two priming-context conditions. Length, frequency, and predictability were ...

In the beginning was the rhyme? A reflection on Hulme, Hatcher, Nation, Brown, Adams, and Stuart (2002).

Phonological sensitivity at different grain sizes is a good predictor of reading acquisition in all languages. However, prior to any explicit tuition in alphabetic knowledge, phonological sensitivity develops at the larger grain sizes-syllables, onsets, ...

Sonority constraints on onset-rime cohesion: evidence from native and bilingual Filipino readers of English.

Research in English suggests that syllables can be analyzed in terms of two subunits-the onset (defined as the initial consonant or consonant cluster) and the rime (the unit formed by the vowel and following consonant/s). This study investigated whether ...

How early does morpholexical reading develop in readers of a shallow orthography?

In this research, lexical and morpholexical reading in Italian children ages 8 to 10 years were investigated. Children and control adults were administered two tasks on words and pseudowords: visual lexical decision and naming. Word frequency effects in ...
