Effects of Voicing Similarity Between Consonants in Printed Stimuli in Normal and Dyslexic Readers
Previous studies have shown that adult skilled readers are sensitive to voicing similarity of printed prime-target or target-mask pairs (Bedoin, 1998). In the present consonant detection task, phonetic priming and masking effects were assessed within one briefly presented CVCV printed stimulus. The...

| Yhteenveto: | Previous studies have shown that adult skilled readers are sensitive to voicing similarity of printed prime-target or target-mask pairs (Bedoin, 1998). In the present consonant detection task, phonetic priming and masking effects were assessed within one briefly presented CVCV printed stimulus. The consonant target (Rank 1 or 2) was either similar or different in voicing to the other consonant. In adult skilled readers and third graders with average reading level, voicing similarity impaired Rank 2 consonant detection and improved Rank 1 consonant detection, replicating effects found with stimuli pairs in previous experiments. These results argue for the involvement of phoneme detectors organised by inhibitory relations based on shared phonetic properties. In dyslexic children, voicing similarity improved Rank 2 target detection, suggesting impaired phonetic organisation of phoneme detectors. After audio-visual training about voicing, this pattern of results was modified in dyslexic children, and became quite similar to skilled readers’ data. |
