DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research examines the extent to which proficient reading utilizes mechanisms of spoken language processing and for what purposes. It investigates the nature of phonological representations used in reading and how these representations compare to the multi-layered phonological structures used to process spoken language. Four experiments will gather behavioral data by monitoring the eye movements of college readers while they silently read sentences for comprehension. A fifth event-related potential (ERP) experiment will measure evoked potentials during the silent reading of multi-syllable words. These experiments will help clarify the role of phonology in proficient reading, particularly in terms of: (a) indicating the degree to which pre-lexical phonological representations are fully specified; (b) distinguishing pre-lexical phonological elements from those that arise post-lexically; (c) determining how integral the phonological representation is to the reading process; and (d) identifying how the phonological representation is used to support proficient reading. Findings will support the development of a coherent theory of phonological representation in reading that will provide a foundation for future research in the processing of spoken language and written text, A better understanding of just how phonology is involved in reading would be useful in improving the effectiveness of reading instruction and in understanding the relation between language disorders and disruptions of reading proficiency.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究检查熟练的阅读利用口语处理机制的程度和目的。它探讨了阅读中使用的语音表征的性质，以及这些表征与用于处理口语的多层语音结构的比较。四个实验将通过监测大学读者的眼球运动来收集行为数据，而他们则默默地阅读句子以进行理解。第五个事件相关电位（ERP）实验将测量多音节单词的无声阅读期间的诱发电位。这些实验将有助于阐明语音在熟练阅读中的作用，特别是在以下方面：（a）表明词汇前语音表征的充分具体化程度;（B）区分词汇前语音成分和词汇后语音成分;（c）确定语音表征在阅读过程中的整体性;以及（d）识别如何使用语音表征来支持熟练阅读。研究结果将支持发展一个连贯的理论，在阅读的语音表征，将提供一个基础，为未来的研究在口语和书面文字的处理，更好地了解语音是如何参与阅读将有助于提高阅读教学的有效性和理解语言障碍和中断之间的关系阅读熟练度。
