Background:

Understanding the neurocognitive basis of reading development is crucial for identifying learning difficulties.
Distinguishing between orthographic and phonological processing is key to understanding reading mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the development of neurocognitive mechanisms in single-word reading in children aged 8-10.
To differentiate the roles of orthographic and phonological processing in reading development using event-related potentials (ERPs) and priming.

Main Methods:

Employed event-related potentials (ERPs) in 8-10-year-old children during a single-word reading task.
Utilized transposed-letter (TL) priming to assess orthographic processing and pseudohomophone (PH) priming for phonological processing.
Analyzed ERP components (N250 and N400) and their correlation with reading ability.

Main Results:

Children exhibited both TL and PH priming effects on the N250 and N400 ERP components.
The magnitude of TL priming positively correlated with reading ability; better readers showed stronger TL priming effects.
Phonological priming did not show a significant correlation with reading ability in this age group.

Conclusions:

Flexible sublexical orthographic representations play a significant role in reading development.
Effective orthographic processing is linked to better reading skills in children.
Findings support the hypothesis that orthographic processing is vital for efficient mapping of visual word forms to meaning.
