Venezky, Richard L.; Massaro, Dominic W. – 1976
The reading research and relevant literature examined in this paper focus on the role that "orthographic regularity" plays in word recognition. Orthographic regularities are those features of printed English words that reduce the uncertainty of what letters might be present. The paper considers three theses: rapid word recognition, which…

Danks, Joseph H.; Fears, Ramona – 1976
Two conflicting hypotheses exist regarding how oral reading behavior patterns follow from encounter with the text. One hypothesis views them as following decoding (decoding hypothesis), and the other sees them as occurring after comprehension processes have constructed a semantic representation of the message. These hypotheses are further…

Reber, Arthur S., Ed.; Scarborough, Don L., Ed. – 1977
This volume suggests not only that the reading process is more complex than previously assumed but that, like so many other cognitive and linguistic skills, the richness and depth of the complexity increase the more closely it is examined. Each chapter focuses upon various aspects of the reading process and provides for possible innovations and…

Juola, James F.; And Others – 1976
This study compared the rapid word processing abilities of groups of students in college, fourth grade, second grade, and kindergarten to see if there is a developmental pattern in such skill development, and to see if phonics training should emphasize either letters and the orthographic rules that create words or letter clusters (common words)…

Liberman, Isabelle Y.; Shankweiler, Donald – 1976
The dependence of reading on speech is based on three assumptions: speech is the primary language system, acquired naturally without direct instruction; alphabetic writing systems are more or less phonetic representations of oral language; and speech appears to be an essential foundation for the acquisition of reading ability. By presupposing…

LaBerge, David – 1976
Perceptual units are involved in the reading process in a particular way. Reading starts with patterns of visual perception visual stimuli in combination with either previously learned information or a strategy for selectively attending to part of the stimuli. Whether the visual pattern selected for deeper information processing is a letter, a…
