Subclaims¶

q2 i? Word reading efficiency correlated significantly with phonological representation (r = 0.643), phonological awareness (r = 0.516), orthography-phonology mapping (r = 0.662) and orthography-semantic mapping (r = 0.536), but not with morphological awareness (r = 0.165, p = 0.513) or orthographical processing (r = 0.149, p = 0.555). → Xia Zhichao 2018 q2 i? Sentence reading comprehension correlated significantly with morphological awareness (r = 0.502), orthographic processing (r = 0.505), orthography-semantic mapping (r = 0.772, p < 0.001) and phonological representation (r = 0.508). → Xia Zhichao 2018 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Pearson's correlations between behavioral measures (n = 21) controlling for age, gender and performance IQ, reported in the Results section. The correlations with morphological awareness and orthographical processing were not significant.

"Word reading efficiency was also significantly correlated with several subcomponents including phonological representation (r = 0.643, p = 0.004), phonological awareness (r = 0.516, p = 0.029), orthography-phonology mapping (r = 0.662, p = 0.003) and orthography-semantic mapping (r = 0.536, p = 0.022)."

q2 · i? · associational · r1

The same behavioral correlation analysis in the Results section shows sentence comprehension correlated with morphological awareness (r = 0.502, p = 0.034) and orthographic processing (r = 0.505, p = 0.032), and with two of three phonological subcomponents.

"Sentence reading comprehension was also significantly correlated with orthography-semantic mapping (r = 0.772, p < 0.001) and two out of the three phonological subcomponents (phonological representation: r = 0.508, p = 0.032; phonological awareness: r = 0.203, p = 0.418; orthography-phonology mapping: r = 0.621, p = 0.006)."

• Morphological awareness is a significantly stronger correlate of adult reading comprehension than phonological awareness and RAN — related
• Semantic ability correlates with phonological awareness, rapid naming, and both decoding measures in children with dyslexia — related
