The morphological structure of complex words impacts how they are processed during
visual word recognition. This impact varies over the course of reading acquisition and for …

Recent theories of morphological processing have been dominated by the notion that
morphologically complex words are decomposed into their constituents on the basis of their …

Learning to read takes time and it requires explicit instruction. Three decades of research
has taught us a good deal about how children learn about the links between orthography …

Many studies have suggested that a word's orthographic form must be processed before its
meaning becomes available. Some interpret the (null) finding of equal facilitation after …

Recent masked priming experiments have brought to light a morphological level of analysis
that is exclusively based on the orthographic appearance of words, so that it breaks down …

This chapter describes a model that accounts for various phenomena related to
morphological processing in skilled reading and reading acquisition. The model implements …

Current evidence suggests that morphologically complex words (eg, farmer) are
automatically segmented into their constituent morphemes (farm+ er) during reading, a …

In four lexical decision experiments, we investigated masked morphological priming with
Dutch prefixed words. Reliable effects of morphological relatedness were obtained with …

Reading is a cultural invention and a learned skill that is acquired only through years of
instruction and practice. Understanding the functional mechanisms that underpin this …

It is demonstrated that the meaning given to an ambiguous word (eg, stick) can be biased by
the masked presentation of a polymorphemic word derived from that meaning (eg, sticky) …
