Orthographic consistency and parafoveal preview benefit: a resource-sharing account of language differences in processing of phonological and semantic codes

Jochen Laubrock et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

Parafoveal preview benefit (PB) is an implicit measure of lexical activation in reading. PB has been demonstrated for orthographic and phonological but not for semantically related information in English. In contrast, semantic PB is obtained in German and Chinese. We propose that these language differences reveal differential resource demands and timing of phonological and semantic decoding in different orthographic systems.
