This study examined the extent to which the same linguistic and cognitive predictors contribute to reading accuracy, rate and comprehension among university students. A total of 120 young adults (aged 18–32) completed a battery of tests to examine their reading skills, phonological awareness (PA), rapid automatized naming (RAN), morphological knowledge, executive functions and verbal long-term memory. Stepwise regression analyses were conducted on reading abilities. We hypothesized that PA, RAN, morphological awareness, and working memory will significantly predict reading accuracy and fluency, and to some extent, reading comprehension. Our results indicated that PA emerged as the strongest predictor of reading accuracy, while RAN most significantly predicted reading speed. Reading comprehension, however, was best predicted by a combination of phonological and morphological abilities, along with inhibitory control and long-term memory. These findings fill a gap in literature and shed light on the linguistic and cognitive mechanisms underlying adult reading skills in Arabic, a language with a complex orthographic system and diglossic situation. The results of this study are discussed in the light of previous reading literature. We propose that additional research, including other linguistic, cognitive and psycho-social factors, will be needed to gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between factors that influence reading in a language with unique linguistic features.</p>","PeriodicalId":47689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psycholinguistic Research","volume":"55 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13068758/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147647153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results demonstrated no significant independent effect of L2 proficiency or interpreting training; however, they revealed a significant interaction between L2 proficiency and interpreting training duration. Further simple slope analysis showed that L2 proficiency significantly predicted conflict monitoring only for the bilinguals with 3.5 months of interpreting training. In addition, demographics of age, SES, and IQ were included as covariates in the analyses, and the results showed that IQ significantly predicted inhibitory control, while SES significantly predicted conflict monitoring.

Each video was normed for five psycholinguistic variables: name agreement (NA), entropy (H-statistic), response latency, uniqueness naming point-the moment at which an action becomes unambiguously identifiable-and adjusted response latency. Data were collected from 93 native French speakers of Quebec. Most actions elicited consistent name agreement (mean NA = 80.73%), while the mean entropy value (H-statistic = 0.84) reflected the lexical diversity typical of Quebec French.
