Semantic Code Deficit for Reading Disabled Children on an Auditory Lexical Decision Task

Abstract: Disabled and normal readers made lexical decisions to orally presented pairs of letter strings. Half of the word-word pairs were semantically related while the other half of the pairs were semantically unrelated. A significant group by relatedness interaction was observed; disabled readers showed a nonsignificant relatedness effect and normal readers showed a significant relatedness effect. Results suggest that disabled readers have difficulty in making available the full range of semantic cues when processing… Show more

“…There is evidence, however, that the processing of words in a paragraph is dependent on a number of other processes, such as semantic coding. For example, several studies suggest that the ability to read words in a connected text involves not only bottom-up processes, such as phonological coding, but also top-down processes such as the use of meaning and sentence context (Baker et al, 1987;Manis, 1985;Stanovich, 1980;Swanson, 1986b;Zecker and Zinner, 1987). Thus, one may speculate that the effective reading of text not only requires the ability to process phonemic information, but also the extraction of semantic information about words.…”

“…This referencing is done by effectively organizing or indexing (e.g., class affiliation and subordinate properties) the two (visual, verbal) memory inputs (e.g., Bub et al, 1988;Jolicoeur et al, 1984;Nelson et al, 1977;te Linde, 1982). In relation to reading ability, several studies (e.g., Ceci et al, 1980;Lorsbach, 1982;Perfetti et al-reported in Perfetti and Lesgold, 1979;Swanson, 1984b;Vellutino et al, 1975b,c;Zecker and Zinner, 1987) suggest LD readers have difficulty linking visual and verbal information into the semantic network. I will briefly review some of my studies that support this assumption, and draw my conclusions from three different memory tasks.…”

“…word recalling or word substitution, especially in words with similar meaning) is also discussed in relation to the reading skills of SLI children (Coady & Aslin, 2003;Hulme & Snowling, 2009). Zecker and Zinner (1987) point out that children with SLI can register the same amount of semantic information as their peers, but they suffer from worsened accessibility to this information, a more difficult process of remembering, and generally slower recall of information from their working memory.…”
