Information Overloadrq  is not a new term but with the massive development in technology which enables anytime, anywhere, easy and unlimited access; participation & publishing of information has consequently escalated its impact. Assisting userslq    informational searches with reduced reading surfing time by extracting and evaluating accurate, authentic & relevant information are the primary c...

A new class of neural network models of reading aloud are presented. Unlike previous models, they are not restricted to monosyllabic words, require no complicated input-output representations such as Wickelfeatures and require no pre-processing to align the letters and phonemes in the training data. The best cases are able to achieve 100% performance on the Seidenberg & McClelland training corp...

Research seeking to uncover the mechanisms by which we read aloud has focused almost exclusively on monosyllabic items presented in isolation. Consequently, important challenges that arise when considering polysyllabic word reading, such as stress assignment, have been ignored, while little is known about how important sentence-level stress cues, such as syntax and rhythm, may influence word re...

___________________ Numerous studies have shown that thinking aloud while reading can be an effective instructional technique in helping students improve their reading comprehension. However, most of the studies that examined the effects of think-aloud involve subjects reading individually and carried out in isolation away from the classroom context. Recently, researchers have begun to explore ...

The present study investigated whether lexical frequency, a variable that is known to affect the time taken to utter a verbal response, may also influence articulation. Pairs of words that differed in terms of their relative frequency, but were matched on their onset, vowel, and number of phonemes (e.g., map vs. mat, where the former is more frequent than the latter) were used in a picture nami...
