Abstract

Elisabetta De Simone, Elisabeth Beyersmann, Claudio Mulatti, Jonathan Mirault, Xenia Schmalz Roles Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal analysis, Funding acquisition, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Software, Supervision, Validation, Visualization, Writing – review & editing Affiliation: Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy, University Hospital, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany Introduction It is common practice in reading research to use pseudowords in order test participants’ ability to use grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) to correctly retrieve sound from print [1]. [...]they have to assume that if a participant is taking more time in naming a particular item, it means that item is more difficult than others. [...]the researcher has to hypothesize about features of that particular item that make it difficult to name. Age (adults and children) and grade (2, 3, 4, for monolingual German children): 3. r Bilingualism (comparing bilingual English-German children, reading German items, with monolingual German children) Entropy values are calculated as follows: the more alternative pronunciations a given pseudoword has, the bigger its Entropy value is. Since Entropy focuses on the whole pseudoword pronunciation, Entropy values are not affected by the readers’ strategy to retrieve sound from larger (morphemes, bodies) or smaller embedded reading units (letters, graphemes).
