Mousikou, Petroula; Beyersmann, Elisabeth; Ktori, Maria; Javourey-Drevet, Ludivine; Crepaldi, Davide; Ziegler, Johannes C.; Grainger, Jonathan; Schroeder, Sascha – Developmental Science, 2020
The present study investigated whether morphological processing in reading is influenced by the orthographic consistency of a language or its morphological complexity. Developing readers in Grade 3 and skilled adult readers participated in a reading aloud task in four alphabetic orthographies (English, French, German, Italian), which differ in…

Cole, Pascale; Bouton, Sophie; Leuwers, Christel; Casalis, Severine; Sprenger-Charolles, Liliane – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2012
Morphological processing by French children was investigated in two experiments. The first showed that second and third graders read pseudowords such as "chat-ure" ("cat-ish") composed of an illegally combined real stem and real derivational suffix faster and more accurately than they read matched pseudowords composed of a pseudostem and a real…

Grainger, Jonathan; Lete, Bernard; Bertand, Daisy; Dufau, Stephane; Ziegler, Johannes C. – Cognition, 2012
We describe a multiple-route model of reading development in which coarse-grained orthographic processing plays a key role in optimizing access to semantics via whole-word orthographic representations. This forms part of the direct orthographic route that gradually replaces phonological recoding during the initial phases of reading acquisition.…
