@maxcoltheart @jotaylor2306 @Kathy_Rastle Depends for what! I quite like counting all ‘close’ neighbours (0, 1, or 2 letter different) for capturing morphological relationships to some extent

@OWoolnough @jotaylor2306 Same here!

Fancy learning a mini language over 2 short sessions and getting £20? Take part in our ONLINE study if you’re a native English speaker aged 18-35. DM if interested.

THREAD about our new nonword reading paper; https://t.co/lWa5T4bpe5 1/

@wv012 @Kathy_Rastle @OGrosseck @maxcoltheart Thank you for engaging so deeply with our paper and helping us improve it!

Our new paper is out! Are people consistent when reading nonwords aloud on different occasions? https://t.co/lWa5T4bpe5 @Kathy_Rastle @OGrosseck @maxcoltheart

[Ana Ulicheva @AUlicheva]

@TessaDaffern @Kathy_Rastle @OGrosseck @maxcoltheart I don't think anyone has studied that! Given that sound-spelling relationships (used in spelling) are generally more inconsistent in English than spelling-sound relationships (used in reading), I would expect even more intra-individual variation in spelling than in reading.

[Ana Ulicheva @AUlicheva]

We are planning further work to understand the basis for the variation we have observed and its relationship to reading skill. We are grateful for any suggestions! End/

[Ana Ulicheva @AUlicheva]

We do not believe that this work has obvious implications for the phonics check. Even if children did show session-to-session variation, the scoring guidance allows for variant pronunciations (e.g. the vowel in 'meast' pronounced as in 'leaf' or 'deaf'). 9/

New paper with @Kathy_Rastle and @MarelliMar. Special thanks to @oemmesundoimel and Mark Aronoff for organising a workshop that inspired this work! Looking forward to reading other papers that were born from it @RTreiman

New #OA paper led by @AUlicheva - morphological knowledge in skilled readers depends on strength of spelling-to-meaning information in the writing system and degree of language & reading experience. https://t.co/TTiADiLkMs

Spelling evolution: kind of like natural selection. Excellent talk from @AUlicheva on work with @Kathy_Rastle and others
