The present study examined the developmental relationship between morphological awareness (MA) and reading comprehension (RC) using a 2-year and four-wave cross-lagged design with a sample of 149 Chinese children (80 males and 69 females). We measured children's MA, word reading (WR), and RC from T1 to T4, in addition to phonological awareness, vocabulary knowledge, and general cognitive abilit...

The primary purpose of this study was to compare the ability of language-impaired and reading-impaired children to process (i.e.', encode and retrieve) phonological information. Four measures of phonological awareness and several measures of word and sentence repetition abilities were used to evaluate phono!ogica! processing skills. Two additional measures assessed children's awareness of lexic...

The primary goal was to expand our understanding of text reading fluency (efficiency or automaticity)-how its relation to other constructs (e.g., word reading fluency and reading comprehension) changes over time and how it is different from word reading fluency and reading comprehension. We examined (1) developmentally changing relations among word reading fluency, listening comprehension, text...

Cellular Schwannoma (CS) is a well-recognized morphological variant of schwannoma, which has been reported in many usual and unusual sites. We herein report a rare case of a bulky, retroperitoneal cellular schwannoma showing challenging radiological and morphological features. Due to large size and ill-defined margins at CT examination a malignant soft tissue tumor (sarcoma) was suggested. At h...

The purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine the role of three morphological awareness (MA) skills (inflection, derivation, and compounding) in word reading fluency and reading comprehension in a relatively transparent orthography (Greek). Two hundred and fifteen (104 girls; Mage = 67.40 months, at kindergarten) Greek children were followed from kindergarten (K) to grade 2 (G2). In K a...

The purposes of the present study were to explore the relationship between body awareness and negative body attitude, interoceptive body awareness and physical self in women practicing fitness as well as to analyze the determinants of body awareness. The Body Awareness Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness, the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire and the ...

In this paper, we survey current evidence on cognitive precursors of reading in different orthographies by reviewing studies with a cross-linguistic research design. Graphic symbol knowledge, phonological awareness, morphological and rapid automatized naming were found to be associated acquisition all investigated. However, apart from naming, association is mostly interactive, meaning that youn...

The paper aims at exploring the relationship between perceived pronunciation performance and metalinguistic awareness in the acquisition of third language phonology. The study involved 27 participants with Polish as L1, English as L2 and French as L3. In the first part of the study, third language pronunciation performance was assessed by means of online ratings involving 3 components: foreign ...
