Picture-naming interference with good and poor readers.

R E Guttentag

    Perceptual and Motor Skills
    |August 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found that good readers are more sensitive to orthographic regularity than poor readers. Both groups automatically processed words, but only good readers showed interference from pseudowords over consonant strings.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • Reading ability significantly impacts cognitive processing.
    • Automaticity in word recognition is crucial for reading comprehension.
    • Orthographic regularity plays a role in how children process written language.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the automaticity of word processing in children with varying reading abilities.
    • To examine the influence of orthographic regularity on reading interference.
    • To compare the sensitivity to orthographic regularity between good and poor readers.

    Main Methods:

    • 22 third-grade children (11 high, 11 low reading ability) participated.
    • Picture-naming tasks were used with distracting words or nonword strings inside.
    • Stimuli involved non-overlapping picture and word sets to prevent sensitization.

    Main Results:

    • Both high and low reading ability groups showed interference from intra-category words, indicating automatic word processing.
    • Good readers experienced greater interference from pseudowords compared to consonant strings.
    • Poor readers did not show differential interference between pseudowords and consonant strings.

    Conclusions:

    • Children automatically process words, regardless of reading ability.
    • Good readers are more sensitive to orthographic regularity than poor readers.
    • Poor readers may be less attuned to the orthographic structure of words.
