On average, students were 10.64 years old (SD = 0.37) at wave 1 in grade 5. Measurements for intrinsic reading motivation and reading comprehension were taken at three separate time points: grades 5, 7, and 9. A multi-group cross-lagged panel model was employed to examine gender similarities and differences in the reciprocal relations between intrinsic reading motivation and reading comprehension over four years.Results The results revealed reciprocal cross-lagged effects between intrinsic reading motivation and reading comprehension for both male and female students from grades 5 to 9. The strengths of cross-lagged effects between intrinsic reading motivation and reading comprehension were largely similar across genders.Conclusions This study provides insights into the reciprocal relations between intrinsic reading motivation and reading comprehension from grades 5 to 9, emphasizing that these relations are largely consistent across genders. The findings reinforce the generalization of the positive reciprocal relations between intrinsic reading motivation and reading comprehension, regardless of gender or age. It calls for caution in interpreting gender differences without considering the complex, reciprocal nature of these variables and highlights potential avenues for future research.

NEPS is a framework with a multi-cohort longitudinal design to investigate educational developments and outcomes through a life course (Blossfeld, Roßbach, & von Maurice, Citation2011).2. The HRMQ (Habitual Reading Motivation Questionnaire) is an established German scale with high internal consistency and strong factorial, convergent (e.g., related to reading activity), and discriminant (e.g., unrelated to interests for sports) validity (Möller & Bonerad, Citation2007; Schiefele et al., Citation2012). It has been widely used by researchers in Germany, in particular within large-scale assessments (e.g., Miyamoto et al., Citation2018, Citation2019; Retelsdorf, et al., Citation2011, 2014). The NEPS experts selected the items from the original HRMQ according to several ","PeriodicalId":48032,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Studies of Reading","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135206074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence from Eye Movements","authors":"Shuyuan Chen, Jinzuan Chen, Yanping Liu","doi":"10.1080/10888438.2023.2260033","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10888438.2023.2260033","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTPurpose This study aims to examine whether binocular vision plays a facilitating or impeding role in lexical processing during sentence reading in Chinese.Method Adopting the revised boundary paradigm, we orthogonally manipulated the parafoveal and foveal viewing conditions (monocular vs. binocular) of target words (high- vs. low-frequency) within sentences. Forty participants (30 females, mean age = 19.9 years) were recruited to read these sentences and their eye movements were monitored.Results Through directly comparing the eye movement measures in different viewing conditions, the results indicated that compared with monocular viewing, binocular viewing resulted in shorter fixation durations, thereby facilitating lexical processing. Critically, in addition to the higher information encoding speed toward the currently fixated word in the fovea, the more efficient preprocessing of the upcoming text to the right of fixation in the parafovea may also contribute to the superiority of binocular vision over monocular.Conclusion Our findings provide the first evidence to support the binocular advantages in Chinese reading, which reveals that high-quality visual input from binocular vision plays a vital role in fluent and efficient written text reading.

We compared standard eye-tracking measures and scanpath regularity as predictors of reading comprehension scores. Method: We used a dataset in which 79 participants (mean age: 22 years, 82% females, 76% monolingual English speakers) were administered three widely-used reading comprehension assessments with varying task demands while their eye movements were monitored: the York Assessment of Reading for Comprehension ; (YARC), the Gray Oral Reading Test ; (GORT-5), and the sentence comprehension subtest of the Wide Range Achievement Test ; (WRAT-4). Results: Results showed that scanpath regularity measures, similarly to standard eye-tracking measures, were influenced by differences in task demands between the three tests. Nevertheless, both types of eye-tracking measures made unique contributions as predictors of comprehension and the best set of predictors included both standard eye-tracking measures and at least one scanpath measure across tests. Conclusion: The results provide evidence that scanpaths capture differences in eye-movement patterns missed by standard eye-tracking measures. Overall, the results highlight the effect of task demands on eye-movement behavior and suggest that reading goals and task demands need to be considered when interpreting eye-tracking data.","PeriodicalId":48032,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Studies of Reading","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42468431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The second model, which also included language and early literacy skills, showed that vocabulary and phonological awareness indirectly predicted reading comprehension via listening comprehension, while phonological awareness, letter knowledge, and rapid automatized naming (RAN) indirectly predicted reading comprehension via word reading fluency (R2 = 43.6%). However, after allowing the direct paths from language and early literacy skills in kindergarten to reading comprehension, listening comprehension and word reading fluency were no longer significant predictors of reading comprehension, whereas vocabulary and letter knowledge were (R2 = 58.9%).Conclusion The results provided support for the SVR model in transparent Lithuanian orthography in that linguistic and decoding components are important for early reading comprehension.

Purpose This study aimed to investigate morphological effects on orthographic learning in English, and whether this effect, if any, is different for monolingual compared to Chinese-English-speaking bilingual children, who often have difficulty acquiring English inflectional morphology. Method 59 Year 2 children, including 29 English-speaking monolinguals and 30 Chinese-English-speaking bilinguals participated. We assessed children’s preexisting English inflectional morphological knowledge. The children learned twelve novel words that were either presented with morphological variation (e.g., vack, vacks, vacking, vacked) or pure repetition (e.g., vack x 4). Orthographic learning was measured by orthographic choice and spelling tasks. Results 1) orthographic learning from the spelling task showed better performance in the repetition condition, 2) there were no differences in orthographic learning between the monolinguals and bilinguals, despite the fact that the monolinguals had better inflectional morphological knowledge than the bilinguals. Conclusion Children learned novel written words better when they are presented without morphological variation, supporting the item-based feature of the self-teaching hypothesis. Chinese-English-speaking bilinguals’ weaker English morphological knowledge does not seem to hinder their orthographic learning ability.","PeriodicalId":48032,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Studies of Reading","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48668569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
