2016 Strategy training and mind-mapping facilitates children’s hypertext comprehension Written Language & Literacy 19:2, pp. 131–156 | Article
Children in primary school read hypertext for comprehension.

In the present study, a training group of 55 sixth-graders were taught four… read more
2016 Masked onset priming in lexical decision: Differential effects in adults and beginning readers Written Language & Literacy 19:1, pp. 94–113 | Article
In masked onset priming (MOPE) there is an overlap between prime and target in the onset. This has been shown to lead to faster word recognition of the target in adults in naming tasks but not in lexical decision tasks. To take a developmental stance, the present study investigated MOPE of various… read more
