In this paper, I argue that phonological performance data provide information about phonological competence. An adequate model of phonological competence must hence be able to account for significant patterns observed in phonological performance data. Based on two word-likeness experiments, I point out some typical properties of phonological performance data, and then show how these properties ...

Reading-related skills of youth with intellectual disability (ID) were compared with those of typically developing (TD) children of similar verbal ability level. The group with ID scored lower than the TD group on word recognition and phonological decoding, but similarly on orthographic processing and rapid automatized naming (RAN). Further, phonological decoding significantly mediated the rela...

Abstract Nonlinear phonological theories have motivated phonological assessment and intervention practices for English for two decades (e.g., Bernhardt & Stoel-Gammon, 1994; Bernhardt & Stemberger, 2000). Such practices focus on all aspects of the phonological system from word structure to segments (phonemes) and features, highlighting and capitalizing on a client’s strengths while addressing h...

this paper presents a fuzzy decision-making approach to deal with a clustering supplier problem in a supply chain system. during recent years, determining suitable suppliers in the supply chain has become a key strategic consideration. however, the nature of these decisions is usually complex and unstructured. in general, many quantitative and qualitative factors, such as quality, price, and fl...

The condition known as phonological dyslexia involves very poor reading of non-words, with otherwise good word reading performance [e.g. Derouesné & Beauvois, 1979; Sartori, G., Barry, C., & Job, R. (1984). Phonological dyslexia: A review. In R. N. Malatesha & H. A. Whitaker (Eds.), Dyslexia: A global issue. The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers]. Theoretical accounts of this non-word reading ...
