There has been existing a debate about the models about reading English words aloud. One is the
Dual Route Cascaded model(DRC), and another is the Triangle model. Because there are arbitrary
variables of both models, we did not decide which model gives better accounts for the numerous
data. Therefore, an attempt to integrate the DRC and Triangle model was made by introducing the
Mixture of Experts Network. From the Mixture of Expert Network's point of view, the difference
which lies between the DRC and Triangle models would be able to describe as the quantitive
difference of the dispersion parameters.
1098.138 Does discussion about others’ essay facilitate writing? Miwa Inuzuka, University of
Tokyo, Japan
In writing essays, a framework for monitoring plays an important role. Through writing
interventions, this study examined whether reading and discussing essays written by others was
effective on constructing the monitoring framework. The results of Study 1 suggested that having
diverse viewpoints during the discussion was crucial for the improvement of their writing. From
the results of Study 2, it was indicated that participants improved their writing when they
conducted discussion after individual work. It was considered that the diverse viewpoints and
individual activity facilitated the construction of the framework for monitoring and improved
students' writing performance.
1098.139 Dishabituation to phonetic stimuli in a “silent” event-related fMRI design, Jason Zevin,
Bruce McCandliss, Sackler Insitute, USA
Auditory brain regions habituate rapidly to repeated presentation of a single stimulus or type of
stimulus. The timing and location of habituation and dishabituation responses can be used to
elucidate the brain basis of speech perception. We compared a critical condition, in which the
repeated ("standard") stimulus was a member of one phonetic category and the dishabituating
("deviant") stimulus was a member of a different category to a range of conditions in which the
standard and deviant stimuli were members of the same phonetic category. BOLD responses to
stimuli were recorded while subjects passively listened to trains of stimuli.
1098.140The effect of phonological coding on sentence comprehensions in silent and oral reading,
Maiko Takahashi, University of Tokyo, Japan
This study investigated whether the phonological coding during silent reading influences the
differences in comprehensions between silent and oral reading. Thirty-two subjects were asked to
read sentences either silently or orally. To examine the effects of phonological coding, they also
read silently under articulatory suppressions. Subjects, whose comprehensions were impaired by
the articulatory suppression, comprehended better in reading silently than orally. In contrast, the
others showed equally comprehensions across silent and oral reading. It is concluded that the
difference in comprehensions between silent and oral reading depends on whether a reader do the
phonological coding during silent reading.
1098.141 The effects of L1 phonological and orthographic systems on L2 word identification,
Lun Wang, Jun-ichi Abe, Hokkaido University, Japan
This study aims at examining whether the first language (L1) phonological and orthographic
processing strategies affect the second language (L2) word identification. Participants were
