Reading Flashcards
Lower level decoding?
decoding and accessing lexical entries
Higher level decoding?
Inferences, background knowledge, interpreting intentions, constructing meaning
Lower level decoding is ……. in skilled readers?
Highly automatised
Higher level decoding requires……?
Space in the working memory
Three ways that we can decode words?
1- Sub-lexical route vs lexical route - Whole word processing- lexical route - Sounding it out- sub-lexical route 2- Analogy -Based on a pattern already learned 3-Neighbourhood effects - Number of words that share its rime
What is the stroop test?
The stroop test is when somebody has to read the colour of the word not what the word says.
This is difficult, showing us that decoding processes are automatised
The more automated our ability to recognise words are, the more……. our working memory has?
capacity- to access higher-level meaning
Skilled readers use regressions to…..?
Build higher level meaning
Unskilled readers use regressions too….?
check the accuracy of decoding
What is miscue analysis in reading?
Looking at the different behaviour of skilled and unskilled readers
The three main type of reading errors?
The graph/phonic system
The semantic system
The syntactic system
The graph/phonic system?
Words that are exchanged are similar in spelling or sound
The semantic system?
Words that are exchanged have an acceptable degree of meaning similarity
The syntactic system?
Words that are exchanged are grammatical in the context of the sentence
What did Gough and Wren look at?
They looked at reading time.
They found that reading times were greater on lines containing errors than error free lines.
they claim that even if an error isn’t reported, it slows down reading.
