On the nature of consonant/vowel differences in letter position coding: Evidence from developing and adult readers
(British Journal of Psychology, 2016)
In skilled adult readers, transposed-letter effects (jugde-JUDGE) are greater for consonant than for vowel transpositions. These differences are often attributed to phonological rather than orthographic processing. To ...
Does Location Uncertainty in Letter Position Coding Emerge Because of Literacy Training?
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
In the quest to unveil the nature of the orthographic code, a useful strategy is to examine the
transposed-letter effect (e.g., JUGDE is more confusable with its base word, JUDGE, than the
replacement-letter nonword ...
Contextual diversity favors the learning of new words in children regardless of their comprehension skills
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Recent research has shown the benefits of high contextual diversity,
defined as the number of different contexts in which a word
appears, when incidentally learning new words. These benefits
have been found both in ...
Does orthographic processing emerge rapidly after learning a new script?
(British Journal of Psychology, 2021)
Orthographic processing is characterized by location-invariant and location-specific processing (Grainger, 2018): (1) strings of letters are more vulnerable to transposition effects than the strings of symbols in same-different ...
Does narrator variability facilitate incidental word learning in the classroom?
(SPRINGER, 2022)
Recent studies have revealed that presenting novel words across various contexts (i.e., contextual diversity) helps to
consolidate the meaning of these words both in adults and children. This effect has been typically ...
The time course of processing handwritten words: An ERP investigation
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)
Behavioral studies have shown that the legibility of handwritten script hinders visual word recognition.
Furthermore, when compared with printed words, lexical effects (e.g., word-frequency effect) are magnified for
less ...
Does the Visual Attention Span Play a Role in Reading in Arabic?
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018)
It is unclear whether the association between the visual attention (VA) span and reading differs across languages. Here we studied this relationship in Arabic, where the use of specific reading strategies depends on the ...
Matrices of the frequency and similarity of Arabic letters and allographs
(Behavior Research Methods, 2020)
Indicators of letter frequency and similarity have long been available for Indo-European languages. They have not only been
pivotal in controlling the design of experimental psycholinguistic studies seeking to determine ...
Do handwritten words magnify lexical effects in visual word recognition?
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)
An examination of how the word recognition system is able to process handwritten words is fundamental to formulate a comprehensive model of visual word recognition. Previous research has revealed that the magnitude of ...
Do Diacritical Marks Play a Role at the Early Stages of Word Recognition in Arabic?
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
A crucial question in the domain of visual word recognition is whether letter similarity plays a role in the early stages of visual word processing. Here we focused on Arabic because in this language there are various ...
