“…To date, the majority of studies have examined how PASS processes relate to reading (e.g., Das, Bisanz, & Mancini, 1984;Das, Georgiou, & Janzen, 2008;Das, Mishra, & Kirby, 1994;Joseph, McCachran, & Naglieri, 2003;Kirby, Booth, & Das, 1996;Kirby & Das, 1977;Leong, Cheng, & Das, 1985;Papadopoulos, 2001;Papadopoulos, Das, Parrila, & Kirby, 2003). According to Das, Mok, and Mishra (1994), the effect of successive processing in word reading is mediated by phonological recoding, and the effect of simultaneous processing is mediated by orthographic processing.…”
