Do Reading And Spelling Share A Lexicon? (review of article 55th)

Do Reading And Spelling Share A Lexicon?

In literature reading and spelling, the ongoing debate concerns whether reading and spelling share a single lexicon lyrics or relying on independent lexica. Existing evidence tends to favor a single lexicon account on top of an independent lexica account, but the evidence is mixed and open for alternative explanations. In the current work, they propose another largely ignored account - separate-but-shared lexica - which he says reads and spellings have separate lexica orthography, but information can be shared between the two. We report three experiments designed to evaluate competitively these three theoretical accounts. In each trial, participants learn new words through reading and / or spelling training. Key manipulations concerning the number of readings versus the spelling of certain items received. After the training, they assess the timing and accuracy of the response to the final reading and spelling results. According to the independent lexica account, the final performance in one modality will not be affected by the level of practice in other modalities. According to a single lexicon account, the final performance will depend on the total number of practices regardless of their modalities. According to a separate-but-together account, the final performance will be affected by the level of practice in both modalities but will benefit more from the same equality practice. Results support separate but shared accounts, indicating that reading and spelling rely on separate lexica, but information can be shared between the two.
