- Title
Coding Processes in Skilled And Less Skilled Readers.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article focuses on the nature of access code and access procedure in skilled and less skilled readers. Access code refers to the nature of the information extracted from the printed word whereas access procedure refers to the way in which the internal representation is used to find the word's entry in the internal lexicon. As English is a phonemically-based orthography, the question often revolves around these views: that the access code during reading is phonological and indirect; that the access code is visual and direct; and that there are dual phonological and visual codes. Phonological coding is considered to be an abstract, internal representation. The output dimensions of phonological coding carry into categories of speech or language units such as phonemes, morphonemes and syllables. Sample used in the article is consist of a total of 72 children selected from grades 4, 6 and 8 in a large elementary school. These children were tested individually for sessions of approximately 45 minutes duration. It is found in the article that less skilled readers showed longer vocalization latencies to context-free printed words and pseudowords.
