Neural and Behavioral Indicators of Integration Processes across Sentence Boundaries (2009)
Franz Schmalhofer, Charles A. Perfetti
A fundamental characteristic of a text is that its sentences are not unrelated but cohere. To understand a text, a reader must therefore cognitively establish specific relations between a new...

Differences between written and spoken input in learning new words (2008)
Jessica R. Nelson, Michal Balass, Charles A. Perfetti, Jessica R. Nelson, Michal Balass, Charles A. Perfetti
We trained adult learners the meanings of rare words to test hypotheses about modality effects in learning word forms. These hypotheses are that (1) written (orthographic) training leads to a better...

The authors examine the implications of research on Chinese for theories of reading and propose the lexical constituency model as a general framework for word reading across writing systems. Word...
Abstract. According to the Universal Writing System Constraint, all writing systems encode language, and thus reflect basic properties of the linguistic system they encode. According to a second...

Two experiments were carried out to examine how adult readers of English learn to acquire the orthographic structure and function of Chinese characters selected from reading material in their...
Erik D. Reichle, Charles A. Perfetti
In reading research, morphological processing and monomorphemic word identification have generally been treated separately. We describe a computational model that brings both kinds of reading...
Ying Liu, Charles A. Perfetti, Lesley Hart
Two words that varied in their relationship were presented sequentially to Chinese readers who made meaning and pronunciation decisions. In the meaning task, they decided whether the words had the...
The universal grammar of reading (2003)
Reading has universal properties that can be seen across the world’s writing systems. The most important one is the universal language constraint: All writing systems represent spoken languages, a...
Abstract: Chinese bilinguals performed a delayed naming task, reading both Chinese characters and English words, while EEGs were recorded by a 128-channel system. Principle component analysis (PCA)...

Reading Optimally Builds on Spoken Language: Implications for Deaf Readers (2000)

In reading, lexical form-form relations may be more reliable than form-meaning relations. Accordingly, phonological forms (activated by graphic forms) become actual constituents, rather than addenda,...
