the present study clarifies the difference between orthographic words and their phonological correspondents in persian writing system via computing orthographic depth of persian writing system. in this article, first, the relationship between orthographic forms of the words and their phonological correspondents is formalized by using context free and context sensitive grapheme-phoneme rules. th...

this paper elaborates on persian and english orthographic shared aspects to study the effects of l1 persian on learning english as a foreign language. while there are some examples of letter and sound mismatches in the orthographic system of both languages, those of english are more complex than persian. in order to see the effect of the mismatch between orthography and transcription, 40 persia...

the present study attempts to investigate the effect of orthographic depth on the occurrence of persian spelling errors of azari-speaking students. for this purpose, the mentioned factor was calculated by phoneticity measure according to spencer (1999). the data for doing this research were collected from 125 papers of final persian dictation exams which belonged to the students from 4 junior h...

Strong evidence has accumulated over the past years suggesting that orthography plays a role in spoken language processing. It is still unclear, however, whether the influence of orthography on spoken language results from a co-activation of posterior brain areas dedicated to low-level orthographic processing or whether it results from orthographic restructuring of phonological representations ...

from among the arabic alphabet, hamza is the only vowel with four orthographic variations of (alone), (above a w?w), (above and under an ‘alif) and (above a dotless y?). such an orthographic variation for hamza has caused spelling problems for writers mainly those who write in both arabic and persian. the present article is to reach the following objectives: 1. introducing the right orthography...

In written word production, is activation transmitted from lexical-semantic selection to orthographic encoding in a serial or cascaded fashion? Very few previous studies have addressed this issue, and the existing evidence comes from languages with alphabetic orthographic systems. We report a study in which Chinese participants were presented with colored line drawings of objects and were instr...

A central issue in written production concerns how phonological codes influence the output of orthographic codes. We used a picture-word interference paradigm combined with the event-related potential technique to investigate the temporal courses of phonological and orthographic activation and their interplay in Chinese writing. Distractors were orthographically related, phonologically related,...

Reading comprehension difficulties in children with ADHD are well established; however, limited information exists concerning the cognitive mechanisms that contribute to these difficulties and the extent to which they interact with one another. The current study examines two broad cognitive processes known to be involved in children's reading comprehension abilities-(a) working memory (i.e., ce...
