Abstract

En 中文
This study examined sublexical processing in Finnish by investigating the role syllables and morphemes play for beginning readers at various stages of reading-fluency development. Second and fourth graders in Finland, including typically developing readers and children experiencing reading difficulties, performed a lexical decision task while eye movements were recorded. Word and pseudoword stimuli were presented concatenated, separated at the syllable or morpheme boundary. Results indicated that older and more fluent readers were more disrupted by separated conditions, with concatenated words leading to shorter reading times. Visually separating pseudowords improved reading accuracy among less fluent readers, suggesting it might be beneficial for slow readers encountering unfamiliar words. This study enhances the understanding of the role of sublexical processing in reading-fluency development.
