2018 Chapter 3. Visual factors in writing system variation: Measurement and implications for reading Writing Systems, Reading Processes, and Cross-Linguistic Influences: Reflections from the Chinese, Japanese and Korean Languages, Pae, Hye K. (ed.), pp. 49–72 | Chapter

The first sentence of each text controlled the accessibility of an antecedent referent for a critical word, which was the first content word of the second sentence. In the… read more
