Connectionist Modelling of Reading Aloud

A new class of neural network models of reading aloud are presented. Unlike previous models, they are not restricted to monosyllabic words, require no complicated input-output representations such as Wickelfeatures and require no pre-processing to align the letters and phonemes in the training data. The best cases are able to achieve 100% performance on the Seidenberg & McClelland training corp...

Stress affects articulatory planning in reading aloud.

Three experiments of pseudoword reading assessed whether stress assignment affects reading aloud at the level of articulation planning. In Experiment 1 (immediate reading) both stimulus length (in syllables) and stress type affected reading latency and accuracy. Italian pseudowords were named faster and more accurately when they were assigned stress on the antepenultimate rather than on the pen...

Cues to Stress Assignment in Reading Aloud

Research seeking to uncover the mechanisms by which we read aloud has focused almost exclusively on monosyllabic items presented in isolation. Consequently, important challenges that arise when considering polysyllabic word reading, such as stress assignment, have been ignored, while little is known about how important sentence-level stress cues, such as syntax and rhythm, may influence word re...

The effectiveness of instructional software in reading comprehension skills and reading aloud of Omani fourth basic schools’ students

Background A significant body of research supports the notion that best practice in the teaching and learning of language incorporates complementary use of technology with the development of foundational knowledge and use of language (Hoopingarner 2009; Goh et al. 2004). Sometimes referred to as e-language learning, myriad opportunities exist for the exploration of the innovative ways technolog...
