The effects of the number of Hangul syllable, the nunber/location of batchim in a Hangul word, and compound/noncompound Hangul word on memory span were examined. The results were that (1) the more syllables a word had, the lower us memory span was, (2) the more batchims a two-syllable word had, the lower its memory span was (Korean batchim effect on memory span), (3) noncompound word had higher memory span than compound word. The reading speed of above mentioned words was measured and the results were that (1) the more syllables a word had, the slower its reading speed was, (2) but the reading speed of a two-syllable word was forest when it had a batchim on second syllable than when it had no batchim or had a batchim on first syllable or batchims on both syllables (Korean ending batchim effect on reading speed), (3) noncompound word was read faster thu compound word. Korean ending batchim effect on reading speed was not compatible with the explanation by articulatory loop bur compatible with the explanation by visual cache where the orthographic information was represented. The results suggest that memory span was influenced nor only by phonological information but also by orthographic information.

교사가 이야기책을 반복하여 읽어주는 (a multiple reading) 과정에서 아동이 새로운 단어에 해당하는 그림을 보고 그 단어를 명명하게 하는 (a labeling strategy) 읽기 방법이 아동의 어휘획득에 연령과 경험에 따라 차별적인 효과를 가져오는가, 또한 동일한 읽기 방법이 그룹 상황에 적용되었을 때 일대일 상황에서 얻어지는 효과와 같은 효율성을 갖는가의 문제가 각각의 실험에서 다루어졌다. 양 실험에서 각 연령 (4, 5세) 집단은 그림 어휘력 검사의 표준 점수 결과를 기준으로 하여, 상 하 두 어휘력 집단으로 나뉘어졌다. 아동이 설정된 새로운 단어를 획득한 결과는 comprehensive와 productive 어휘력 검사를 통해 측정되었다. 첫 번째 실험에서 4세와 5세 아동들은 각 연령 집단에서 교사가 일 대 일로 이야기책을 읽어줄 때, 수동적으로 듣거나 또는 설정된 단어에 해당하는 그림을 보며 직접 명명할 수 있었다. 두 번째 실험에서는 첫 번째 실험에 참여한 4세 아동들이 같은 읽기 방법으로 그룹 상황에서 읽혀졌다. 첫 번째 실험 결과, 새로운 단어를 comprehend 하고 produce 하는데 5세 아동이 4세 아동 보다 나은 기제를 갖고 있는지는 분명히 밝혀지지 않았다. 결과를 통해 분명하게 밝혀진 것은 이야기책이 읽혀지는 동안 얻어지는 comprehensive 어휘와 productive 어휘에는 차이가 있다는 것이다. 아동들은, 특히 어릴수록, 새로운 단어를 comprehend 하는데 있어서는 labeling strategy의 효과를 보지 못한 반면, 단어를 produce 하는데 있어서는 동일한 방법이 단순한 반복 읽기 보다 효과적이었다. 덧붙여, 어휘력에 있어 상위 집단에 속한 아동이 하위 집단에 속한 아동 보다 더 많은 단어를 comprehend 하고 produce 한다는 점을 확인시켰다. 두 번째 실험 결과는 그룹 상황에서 4세 아동에게 이야기책을 읽어줌으로써 새로운 단어를 획득하게 할 수 있다는 것을 보여 주었다. 사용된 labeling strategy는 특히 productive 어휘 획득에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 일대일 상황에서 뿐 아니라 그룹 상황에서도 중요한 요소로 보였다. 덧붙여, productive 어휘 획득에 있어서 labeling strategy의 효과는 어휘력에 있어 하위 집단에 속한 아동에게는 상황에 따라 다른 결과를 가져왔다. 즉, labeling strategy의 효과에 있어서 하위 집단의 아동들은 그룹보다 일대일 상황에서 productive 어휘를 더 많이 획득했다. 연구결과, productive 어휘력 발달을 위하여 교사는 일대일 책읽기 뿐 아니라 그룹 책 읽기에서도 labeling strategy를 사용하는 것을 고려해야 하며, 비교적 적은 어휘력을 갖고 있는 아동에게는 일대일 상황에서 labeling strategy를 사용하여 이야기책을 읽어주는 시간을 할당할 것을 제시했다.

Objectives：Developmental reading disorder is a condition which manifests significant developmenttal delay in reading ability or persistent errors. About 3-7% of school-age children have this condition. The purpose of the present study was to validate the diagnostic values of Word/Nonword Reading Test and Letter-Symbol Discrimination Task for the purpose of overcoming the caveats of Basic Learning Skills Test. Methods：Sixty-three reading-disordered patients(mean age 10.48 years old) and sex, age-matched 77 normal children(mean age 10.33 years old) were selected by clinical evaluation and DSM-IV criteria. Reading I and II of Basic Learning Skills Test, Word/Nonword Reading Test, and Letter-Symbol Discrimination Task were carried out to them. Word/Nonword Reading Test：One hundred usual highfrequency words and one hundred meaningless nonwords were presented to the subjects within 1.2 and 2.4 seconds, respectively. Through these results, automatized phonological processing ability and conscious letter-sound matching ability were estimated. Letter-Symbol Discrimination Task：mirror image letters which reading-disordered patients are apt to confuse were used. Reliability, concurrent validity, construct validity, and discriminant validity tests were conducted. Results：Word/Nonword Reading Test：the reliability(alpha) was 0.96, and concurrent validity with Basic Learning Skills test was 0.94. The patients with developmental reading disorders differed significantly from normal children in Word/Nonword Reading Test performances. Through discriminant analysis, 83.0% of original cases were correctly classified by this test. Letter-Symbol Discrimination Task：the reliability(alpha) was 0.86, and concurrent validity with Basic Learning Skills test was 0.86. There were significant differences in scores between the patients and normal children. Factor analysis revealed that this test were composed of saccadic mirror image processing, global accuracy, mirror image processing deficit, static image processing, global vigilance deficit, and inattention-impulsivity factors. By discriminant analysis, 87.3% of the patients and normal children were correctly classified. Conclusion：The patients with developmental reading disorders had deficits in automatized visuallexical route, morpheme-phoneme conversion mechanism, and visual information processing. These deficits were reliably and validly evaluated by Word/Nonword Reading Test and Letter-Symbol Discrimination Task.

본 연구는 단기종단연구로 4세와 5세 아동의 읽기, 받아쓰기와 자모 지식과의 관계를 연구하였다. 아동들을 시기 1에서 측정한 7개월 후에 다시 측정하였다. 회귀분석에서, 시기 1(T1)에 측정한 단어 읽기가 시기 2(T2)의 자음 이름과 자음 소리 지식을 예측하였다. 반면에 초성탈락, 숫자명명, 단어읽기가 모음 소리지식을 예측하였다. T2의 한글읽기를 예측하는 변인은 T1 한글읽기와 자음이름이었다. 반면에, 모음소리 지식과 초성탈락은 한글단어의 받아쓰기를 잘 예측할 수 있었다. 본 결과는 한글 자음과 모음 지식의 발달양식이 다르며, 이들이 한글읽기와 쓰기에 미치는 역할이 다른 것을 시사한다.

This study aimed to investigate the semantic preview effect in the parafoveal processing of words that are presented in advance in the parafoveal area ahead of the fixation point, benefiting word processing in the fovea. Using the boundary technique in eye-tracking experiments, 25 Chinese-Korean bilinguals, whose native language is Chinese, were presented with 96 sentences that contained a mix of Chinese and Korean, where Korean words were associated with Chinese characters semantically. The study aimed to determine whether a semantic preview effect could be extracted in reading. The experimental sentences were divided into four conditions: the same Korean native word condition (e.g., "나라" meaning "country"), the same Korean word with semantic equivalent in Chinese condition (e.g., "국가" meaning "country"), the same Chinese condition with semantic equivalent in Korean (e.g., "国家" meaning "country"), and the unrelated Chinese condition to the target word (e.g., "围裙" meaning "apron"). The results showed a preview effect in both the Korean word and Chinese word conditions, with a larger preview effect observed in the Chinese word condition compared to the Korean word condition.

The present study aims to investigate lexical coverage of BNC (British National Corpus) word lists and 2015 Basic Vocabulary of Ministry of Education in 2020 EBS-linked textbooks and CSAT. For the data analysis, AntWordProfiler was used to find lexical coverage and frequency. The findings showed that Students can understand 95% of the tokens with a vocabulary of BNC 3,000 and 4,000 word-families in 2020 EBS-linked listening and reading books respectively. 98% can be understood with 4,000 word-families in the EBS-linked listening book while the same lexical coverage can be covered with 8,000 word-families in the EBS-linked reading textbook. By the way, 95% of the tokens can be understood with 2,000 and 4,000 word-families in 2020 CSAT listening and reading tests respectively, while 98% requires 4,000 and 7,000 word-families in the 2020 listening and reading tests respectively. In summary, students should understand more words in 2020 EBS-linked textbooks than in 2020 CSAT tests confirming Kim's (2016) findings. In summary, students should understand more words in 2020 EBS-linked textbooks than in 2020 CSAT tests.

This study examined the relation among orthographic knowledge, phonological awareness, and visual word decoding and encoding abilities. Children aged 5 to 8 years took letter knowledge test, phoneme-grapheme correspondence test, orthographic representation test(regular word and irregular word representation), phonological awareness test(word, syllable and phoneme awareness), word decoding test(regular word and irregular word reading) and word encoding test(regular word and irregular word dictation). The performances of all tasks were significantly different among groups, and there were positive correlations among the tasks. In the word decoding and encoding tests, the variables with the most predictive power were the letter knowledge ability and the orthographic representation ability. It was found that orthographic knowledge more influenced visual word decoding and encoding skills than phonological awareness at these ages.

This study aimed to explore phonological retrieval and phonological memory skills in second to third graders with dyslexia, poor comprehension, and typical development. The participants included 17 children with dyslexia, 17 children with poor comprehension, and 24 typically developing children. Children with dyslexia scored below 85 on the word decoding test, poor comprehender scored above 90 on the word decoding, and below 85 on the reading comprehension test and typical children scored above 90 on both reading tests. All participants were assessed on rapid automatized naming (RAN) and nonword repetition (NWR). The result indicated that children with dyslexia performed significantly worse on RAN and NWR tasks than other groups. However, there was significant differences between poor comprehender and typically developing children. Furthermore, only RAN were significantly correlated with word decoding and reading comprehension in children with dyslexia. For typically developing children, RAN was correlated with word decoding and reading comprehension, while NWR had a significant correlation with reading comprehension. No correlations were found between these variables for poor comprehender. The finding suggests that children with dyslexia showed difficulties on phonological retrieval and phonological memory, which are essential for reading development while poor comprehender do not have difficulties with phonological processing skills. Phonological processing deficits may underlie word decoding difficulties in dyslexia.

뇌손상에 기인하는 한글 난독증의 어휘처리 양상을 분석하여 한글정보처리의 특성을 알아보고자 하였다. 피험자 PSK의 한글 어휘처리에서 특히 주목되는 점은 단어의 음독은 가능하나, 비단어의 음독은 불가능하였다는 것이다. PSK의 한글 어휘처리는, 자소-음소변환(grapheme-phoneme conversion)경로가 선택적으로 손상되어, 심성어휘집(mental lexicon)의 발음정보를 이용하는 직접경로에 의해서 이루어진다고 판단된다. 읽기(reading)와 그림명명(picture naming)에서 나타난 오류들에 대하여, 음운적 단서(phonological cueing)를 제시하였다. 그 결과, 읽기 수행에서는 단서 주기 효과가 나타나지 않았으나 그림명명에서는 수행상의 향상이 나타났다. 또한, 1음절어의 읽기 수행에서는 규칙효과가 나타나지 않았으나 2음절어의 읽기 수행에서는 빈도와 규칙성의 상호작용이 나타났다. 이것은, PSK의 1음절어와 2음절어에 대한 읽기 수행이 상이한 경로에서 이루어질 가능성을 시사한다.
