Orthographic and phonological preview benefits: parafoveal processing in skilled and less-skilled deaf readers.
Many deaf individuals do not develop the high-level reading skills that will allow them to fully take part into society. To attempt to explain this widespread difficulty in the deaf population, much research has honed in on the use of phonological codes during reading. The hypothesis that the use of phonological codes is associated with good reading skills in deaf readers, though not well suppo...
متن کاملProcesses of taking a gap- lling test: comparison of skilled and less skilled EFL readers
The present study investigates how skilled and less skilled readers answered a gap- lling (or rational deletion cloze) test in order to examine whether such tests can measure text-level processing ability. Twelve Japanese EFL students (six skilled and six less skilled readers) completed a gap- lling test while thinking aloud about their test-taking processes. Their verbal protocols were categ...
متن کاملFactors distinguishing skilled and less skilled deaf readers: evidence from four orthographies.
This study aims to enhance understanding of the factors underlying variance in the reading comprehension skills of prelingually deaf individuals. Participants were 213 sixth through tenth graders with prelingual deafness recruited from four orthographic backgrounds (Hebrew, Arabic, English, and German) and allocated to three distinct reading profiles (levels). A sentence comprehension test mani...
متن کاملAppropriate Microplanning Choices for Low-Skilled Readers
We have developed a set of microplanning choice rules which are intended to enable Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems to generate appropriate texts for readers with below-average literacy, focusing in particular on choices related to how discourse structure is expressed (cue phrases, ordering, sentence structure). Evaluation experiments suggest that our rules do enhance the readability o...
متن کاملAn electrophysiological investigation of semantic and phonological processing in skilled and less-skilled comprehenders.
The most prominent theories of reading consider reading comprehension ability to be a direct consequence of lower-level reading skills. Recently however, research has shown that some children with poor comprehension ability perform normally on tests of lower-level skills (e.g., decoding). One promising line of behavioral research has found semantic processing differences between good and poor c...
