Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? The finding that parallel processing emerges for words before nonwords does not fully fit current theories that frame orthographic knowledge as either word-specific lexical knowledge or a sublexical associative network. → van den Boer 2015

The authors' interpretation of the latent class findings from 314 Dutch children: "The results are not fully in line with current theories on the representation of orthographic knowledge." The article discusses implications for models of the reading process.
"The results are not fully in line with current theories on the representation of orthographic knowledge. Implications in terms of models of the reading process are discussed."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Latent class analyses distinguish classes of children who read letter strings serially versus in parallel for both word and nonword reading — related
- Irregular word and pseudoword spelling dissociate after controlling for year group, consistent with distinct lexical and sublexical processes — related
- Reading is the strongest predictor of spelling across all word types, while sublexical knowledge predicts pseudoword spelling only and is negatively associated with irregular word spelling — related
