Phonological Coding in Prereaders.
Lean, Debra S.; Arbuckle, Tannis Y.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n6 p1282-90 Dec 1984
To examine changes in phonetic coding two age groups of 40 preschoolers were shown rhyming and nonrhyming letter sets. Recall was measured by oral free recall (testing item memory) and serial reconstruction (testing order memory). A large phonetic similarity effect was present in both groups with no developmental changes in the effect magnitude. (Author/BS)
