Is Dependence on Phonological Information in Children's Reading a Product of Instructional Approach?
Johnston, Rhona S.; Thompson, G. Brian
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v48 n1 p131-45 Aug 1989
Found eight-year-old British children less accurate at rejecting psuedohomophones than at rejecting ordinary nonwords in a lexical decision task. New Zealand children did not show the effect. Argues that the difference stems from British children's dependency on sounding out words. (SAK)
