Effects of word imageability and age of acquisition on children's reading
Research on children's reading has shown that words high in imageability are easier to read than words low in imageability. It has been suggested that this occurs because low imageability words are acquired later in life than are high imageability words. The effects of age of acquisition and imageability were studied in two reading tasks. In Expt 1, nine-year-old children had to read aloud words differing in age of acquisition (but matched for im…
Children Find Friendly Words Friendly Too
Forty-nine children (aged 8:4 to 10:4) were grouped according to reading ability and were tested on lexical decision, naming and spelling of words and non-words which differed in orthographic neighbourhood size. Friendly words with many neighbours caused significantly fewer errors on all these tasks. Item analysis demonstrated that these effects were robust when corrected for frequency, regularity, word length and age of acquisition. Good readers…
Direct Access and Phonological Encoding Processes in Children's Reading
S ummary . Nine‐year‐old children were presented with reading tasks in which psycholinguistic properties of words were manipulated. Although word imageability affected reading accuracy, grammatical class of words and regularity of spelling‐to‐sound correspondence did not. Regularity had no effects on lexical decision and judgments of phonology. Accuracy in reading aloud and judgments of phonology was substantially lower for non‐words than for wor…
