Q

What does the non-lexical route of the DRC predict?

17
Q

Are written word recognition impacted temporally?

A

No - do not have to wait for a word to ‘unfold’

18
Q

Why can skilled readers recognise words quicker than non words?

A

We already have the real word stored in our mental lexicon

19
Q

A non-word would need to be ______ letter by letter.

A

Decoded

20
Q

Real words can be read out _____ than pseudo-homophones

A

Faster

21
Q

Real words can be read out faster than ___________

A

Pseudohomophones

22
Q

Real words can be read out faster than pseudo homophones. What is this extra evidence for?

A

Pre-existing orthographical lexicon

23
Q

Which words are processed and read quicker, by skilled readers?

A

High frequency words

24
Q

RT time is faster for high frequency words, whereas RT is slower for…

A

Low frequency words

Pseudohomophones

25
Q

What is neighbourhood density?

A

Number of words phonologically/orthographically similar to another word

26
Q

It is most commonly calculated by deleting or substituting a single sound in a word.

^What is this referring to?^

A

Neighbourhood density

27
Q

Sentences are likely to bias towards one meaning or another, with __________ meanings and __________ meanings

A

Dominant

Subordinate

28
Q

Does context always shorten RTs?

A

No, not if the sentence is incongruent with the word

29
Q

(Context)

___ significance difference in RT when sentences are biased towards subordinate/dominant meaning

A

No

30
Q

How does the DRC predict an individual learns to read?

A

1) Words initially decoded non-lexically

2) Orthographic lexicon gradually built up

31
Q

What is the Self Teaching Hypothesis?

A

SHARE - children learn to read by teaching themselves

32
Q

According to the Self-Teaching Hypothesis, how do children learn to read?

A

Convert graphemes into phonemes

Develop orthographic representations

33
Q

According to the Self-Teaching Hypothesis, is much external help required?

A

No - children mainly teach themselves

34
Q

What are the three pieces of evidence in support of Share’s Self-Teaching Hypothesis?

A

1) Akunia study
2) Evidence of self teaching
3) Evidence - phonological recoding critical to development of representations

35
Q

Evidence for Self-Teaching Hypothesis
Akunia study

What was the method?

A

Stories read aloud to children containing target word

Tested on ability to recognise word from list

36
Q

Evidence for Self-Teaching Hypothesis
Akunia study

What were the results?

A

Children could accurately pick out target word, not affected by incorrect/homophonic spelling

37
Q

Evidence for Self-Teaching Hypothesis
Akunia study

What do the results suggest?

A

Children had built up their own orthographic lexicon
