No Correlation Between Articulation Speed and Silent Reading Rate when Adults Read Short Texts

Silent reading often involves phonological encoding of the text in addition to orthographic processing. The nature code is debated, however: Is it an abstract or does contain information about pronunciation visual stimulus? To answer this question, we investigated relationship between articulation speed and speed, both for silent aloud. We whether people with fast read faster than slow speed. recruited 94 participants, who a Zoom session were asked short texts silently They also talk their lives say numbers 1–10 months year as quickly possible. Finally, they completed online vocabulary test author recognition test. Multiple regression analysis cluster showed that although aloud correlated some extent, belonged two different clusters. Reading was mainly related talking fluency while more knowledge fiction authors. These findings are consistent hypothesis typically not articulatory information, our data do rule out possibility may be case small percentage when difficult texts.
