Cross-linguistic interactions influence reading development in bilinguals: a comparison between early balanced French-Basque and Spanish-Basque bilingual children
This study investigates whether orthographic consistency and transparency of languages have an impact on the development of reading strategies and reading sub-skills (i.e. phonemic awareness and visual attention span) in ... -
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilingual reading is item specific
Lallier, Marie; Martin, Clara D.; Acha Morcillo, Joana ; Carreiras, Manuel (Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2021)The grain size of orthographic representations prompted by a consistent orthography (like Spanish or Basque) increases if reading is simultaneously learned in another language with an inconsistent orthography (like ... -
Does consonant–vowel skeletal structure play a role early in lexical processing? Evidence from masked priming
Is the specific consonant–vowel (CV) letter combination of a word a basic source of information for lexical access in the early stages of processing? We designed two masked priming lexical decision experiments to respond ... -
Does the visual attention span play a role in the morphological processing of orthographic stimuli?
Antzaka, Alexia; Acha Morcillo, Joana ; Carreiras, Manuel; Lallier, Marie (Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019)We investigated whether the link between visual attention (VA) span and reading is modulated by the presence of morphemes. Second and fourth grade children, with Basque as their first language, named morphologically complex ... -
The Deployment of Young Readers´ Visual Attention across Orthographic Strings: The Influence of Stems and Suffixes
Antzaka, Alexia; Acha Morcillo, Joana ; Carreiras, Manuel; Lallier, Marie (Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)The goal of the paper was to investigate whether morphological units – stems and suffixes – influence orthographic processing by modulating visual attention demands to the task. Orthographic processing was measured with ...
