Information Processing Approaches to Studying Spelling Deficiencies.
Gerber, Michael M.; Hall, Robert J.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v20 n1 p34-42 Jan 1987
The article explores information processing models of spelling performance and argues that an adequate theory of spelling processes must include: (1) qualitative changes in performance as a function of maturation that underlie development of automaticity; (2) transactional development of spelling-related knowledge structures and efficient algorithms for searching or supplementing these structures.
