Individual differences in working memory (WM) influence reading skills. We aim to identify how different domains of WM explain reading performance, and how this association changes with age and reading expertise. Hungarian children from first to sixth grade took part in our study. The decoding skills of all children were assessed with 1-min word…

Gina L. Harrison; Lila Boulet – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2024
This study examined whether the assessment of executive function (EF) added a unique contribution to second language (L2) reading comprehension in children in French immersion. Participants were 8- to 9-year old children who completed a collection of measures assessing French reading (i.e., word reading, decoding, and reading comprehension ) and…

Lee, Sungyoon; Woltering, Steven; Prickett, Christopher; Shi, Qinxin; Sun, Huilin; Thompson, Julie L. – Reading Psychology, 2022
The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between elementary students' reading skills and their online reading (i.e., real-time reading) behaviors during silent sentence processing. Thirty-five students participated in this study and their eye movements were recorded during sentence reading tasks. The effects of students'…

Nannan Cui; Yang Wang; Jiefei Luo; Yan Wu – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Executive function (EF) plays a crucial role in children's reading. However, previous studies were based on offline products of reading comprehension. Online research is needed to reveal the core mechanisms underlying children's reading processing. By measuring children's working memory (WM) and cognitive flexibility (CF), we…

A recent Registered Replication Report (RRR) of the development of verbal rehearsal during serial recall revealed that children verbalized at younger ages than previously thought, but did not identify sources of individual differences. Here, we use mediation analysis to reanalyze data from the 934 children ranging from 5 to 10 years old from the…

Gregory Warren Orr – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation investigates the impact of cross-modal binding on word reading skills among English Language Learners (ELLs). Using Baddeley's updated working memory model, which includes the Episodic Buffer, this study examines how the ability to bind visual and phonological information in memory influences the reading development of ELL…

S. Hélène Deacon; Catherine Mimeau; Kyle Levesque; Jessie Ricketts – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Prominent theories of reading development have separately emphasized the relevance of children's skill in learning (Share, 2008) and lexical representations (Perfetti & Hart, 2002). Integrating these ideas, we examined whether skill in learning lexical representations is a mechanism that might explain children's reading development. To do so…

Carlson, Sarah E.; Broek, Paul van den; McMaster, Kristen L. – Elementary School Journal, 2022
This study examines factors that influence readers' cognitive processing (i.e., inference generation) and the development of a mental representation of text: comprehension skill and working memory (WM). Elementary students (N = 61) participated in causal questioning conditions with narrative texts to examine text- and knowledge-based inferences…

Merchie, Emmelien; Catrysse, Leen; Van Keer, Hilde – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
Mind maps are often used to help readers process texts, but their effectiveness is empirically under-investigated. This study explores whether the use of mind maps presented either before or after the text can prime successful selective processing strategies related to the text topic structure. Differences in performance outcomes (i.e., memory and…

González-Valenzuela, Maria-José; López-Montiel, Dolores; Chebaani, Fatma; Cobos-Cali, Marta; Piedra-Martínez, Elisa; Martin-Ruiz, Isaías – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
This study analyzes the impact of certain cognitive processes on word and pseudoword reading in languages with different orthographic consistency (Spanish and Arabic) in the first year of Primary Education. The study was conducted with a group of 113 pupils from Algeria and another group of 128 pupils from Ecuador, from a middle-class background…

Visual-Orthographic Skills Predict the Covariance of Chinese Word Reading and Arithmetic Calculation
Dora Jue Pan; Yingyi Liu; Mo Zheng; Connie Suk Han Ho; David J. Purpura; Catherine McBride; JingTong Ong – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This study provides evidence connecting two aspects of visual-orthographic skills (orthographic awareness and delayed copying) to the common variance shared by Chinese word reading and arithmetic calculation, as well as in identifying positional knowledge of numbers as a potential mediator of these connections in Chinese primary school students (N…

Taboada Barber, Ana; Cartwright, Kelly B.; Hancock, Gregory R.; Klauda, Susan Lutz – Reading Research Quarterly, 2021
The simple view of reading describes reading as the product of decoding (D) and listening comprehension (LC). However, the simple view of reading has been challenged, and evidence has proved it to be too simple to explain the complexities of reading comprehension in the elementary school years. Hypotheses have been advanced that there are…

The Simple View of Reading (SVR) describes reading as the product of decoding (D) and listening comprehension (LC; Gough, Hoover, & Peterson, 1996). However, the SVR has been challenged, and evidence has proved it to be too simple to explain the complexities of reading comprehension in the elementary school years. Hypotheses have been advanced…

Lee, Sungyoon – Reading Psychology, 2023
The purpose of the study is to examine the role of spatial ability and attention shifting in reading of illustrated science texts. Thirty-five fourth/fifth elementary students read two science texts. Prior knowledge and retention/transfer learning outcomes were measured using researcher-developed measures. While reading, students' eye movements…

Conrad, Nicole J.; Kennedy, Kathleen; Saoud, Wafa; Scallion, Laura; Hanusiak, Laura – Journal of Research in Reading, 2019
Skilled reading involves rapid and automatic word recognition. Through a self-teaching process, phonological decoding during reading is thought to establish the word-specific representations in memory that support efficient word reading. Much is known about orthographic learning during reading; less is understood about this process during…
