    Poor word recognition skills and semantic memory organization can hinder reading achievement in students. Addressing these core reading components is crucial for improving overall literacy skills and academic success.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Educational Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Reading achievement is foundational for academic success.
    • Word recognition and semantic memory are key components of reading.
    • Understanding their relationship across grade levels is important for early intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between word recognition skills and reading achievement.
    • To examine how graphemic, lexical, and semantic information processing impacts reading ability.
    • To explore reading development in skilled, average, and unskilled readers across elementary grades.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a categorical judgment task with word and picture pairs.
    • Assessed cognitive decisions based on graphemic, lexical, or semantic information.

  • Compared speed and accuracy in word encoding, lexical access, and semantic memory across different reading abilities and grade levels.

    • Main Results:

    • Processing speed and accuracy in word encoding, lexical access, and semantic memory varied significantly with reading ability.
    • Inefficiencies in word recognition were linked to reading deficiencies.
    • Deficits in semantic memory organization also correlated with reading difficulties.

    Conclusions:

    • Inefficient word recognition skills are a contributing factor to reading deficiencies.
    • Poor semantic memory organization can also lead to reading impairments.
    • Targeting these specific cognitive processes may improve reading outcomes for struggling readers.
