Morphological Awareness Uniquely Predicts Young Children's Chinese Character Recognition.
McBride-Chang, Catherine; Shu, Hua; Zhou, Aibao; Wat, Chun Pong; Wagner, Richard K.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v95 n4 p743-51 Dec 2003
Two unique measures of morphological awareness were orally administered to kindergarten and 2nd-grade Hong Kong Chinese children. Both tasks of morphological awareness predicted unique variance in Chinese character recognition in these children, after controlling for age, phonological awareness, speeded naming, speed of processing, and vocabulary. Results demonstrate that morphological awareness is uniquely important for early Chinese character recognition. (Contains 38 references and 4 tables.) (GCP)
