Henri Olkoniemi; Diane Mézière; Johanna K. Kaakinen – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Eyetracking studies have shown that readers reread ironic phrases when resolving their meaning. Moreover, it has been shown that the timecourse of processing ironic meaning is affected by reader's working memory capacity (WMC). Irony is a context-dependent phenomenon but using traditional eye-movement measures it is difficult to analyze processing…

Claudia Laskay-Horváth; Gábor Aranyi; Orsolya Pachner; Eszter P. Remete; Ferenc Kemény – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
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…

Haneen Wattad; Salim Abu-Rabia; Sara Haddad-Shehadeh – American Annals of the Deaf, 2024
Studies on the reading acquisition of deaf children investigate the similarities and differences in the reading process between these readers and typical hearing readers. There is no consensus on the nature of the reading process among deaf readers, whether they use the same reading processing strategies as typical readers or depend on other…

Reading is a fundamental human capacity that recruits and tunes brain circuitry subserving several neurocognitive skills. Individual differences in reading-related skills are largely influenced by genetic variation. However, the molecular basis of the heritability of reading-related skills remains narrowly replicated. Genome-wide association…

Takumi Kosaka – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
This study examines context effects on lexical processing by low-proficiency Japanese learners of English during sentence comprehension, and the role of individual differences in verbal working memory (WM). Thirty Japanese learners of English as a second language (L2) and 27 speakers of English as a first language (L1) were recruited for a…

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…

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…

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…

Supakit Thiamtawan; Nattama Pongpairoj – PASAA: Journal of Language Teaching and Learning in Thailand, 2023
This study examined the effects of working memory (WM), structure, and salience on the processing of English relative clauses (RCs) and participial reduced relative clauses (PRRCs) by L1 Thai learners. Salience in this research is the phonological alterations required for irregular verbs to inflect into the past participial form. The study…

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…

van Moort, Marianne L.; Koornneef, Arnout; Wilderjans, Tom F.; van den Broek, Paul – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
People read for many different reasons. These goals affect the cognitive processes and strategies they use during reading. Understanding "how" reading goals exert their effects requires investigation of whether and how they affect specific component processes, such as validation. We investigated the effects of reading goal on text-based…

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…

Ehri, Linnea C. – Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties, 2023
Application of psycholinguistic insights initiated a long career researching how children learn to read words. A theory was proposed claiming that spellings of individual words are stored in memory when their graphemes become bonded to phonemes in their pronunciations along with meanings, and this enables readers to read stored words automatically…

Rahmani, Saifurrahman – Cogent Education, 2023
It is widely perceived that vocabulary learning is essential in second and foreign language acquisition. Vocabulary learning beliefs (VLB) and vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) are factors that affect both second language acquisition (SLA) and first language acquisition (FLA). This study investigated the vocabulary learning beliefs and…
