Acoustic Encoding in Normal and Retarded Readers

The encoding processes of poor and average readers were compared in a short-term memory task. Since poor readers have difficulty in integrating audiovisual input, it was hypothesized that this pattern may be due to inadequate acoustic encoding. Specifically, it was predicted that the type of substit...

Zusammenfassung:The encoding processes of poor and average readers were compared in a short-term memory task. Since poor readers have difficulty in integrating audiovisual input, it was hypothesized that this pattern may be due to inadequate acoustic encoding. Specifically, it was predicted that the type of substitution error made on acoustically similar and visually similar letter sequences should differentiate the groups. The results did not support the hypothesis.
