Reading Ability and Single-Letter Orthographic Redundancy
Katz, Leonard
Journal of Educational Psychology, 69, 6, 653-9, Dec 77
Experiments with 81 college students and 48 fifth graders investigated the role of one form of intra-word orthographic redundancy--the characteristic asymmetric spatial distributions of letters of the alphabet across serial positions within words. Adults were sensitive to letter positional distributions, as were fifth graders who were good readers; poor readers were not. (Author/CP)
