The participants were 861 children and adolescents (52% girls, M = 11.72 years) attending Cyprus public institutions.

Assessing the influence of letter position in reading normal and transposed texts using a letter detection task.

During word recognition, some letters appear to play a more important role than others. Although some studies have suggested that the first and last letters of a word have a privileged status, there is no consensus with regards to the importance of the different letter positions when reading connected text. In the current experiments, we used a simple letter search task to examine the impact of letter position on word identification in connected text using a classic paper and pencil procedure (Experiment 1) and an eye movement monitoring procedure (Experiment 2).
