Abstract

readers of Chinese, phonological representation of words in short-term memory exists much the same as it exists for native readers of alphabetbased languages.' Other researchers (Chen & Juola) have demonstrated a high degree of association between visual encoding strategies in short-term memory and Chinese. Finally, a third group (Biederman & Taso and Treiman et al.) suggest that Chinese characters invoke meaning much faster than do words in an alphabetic language. As a consequence, there has been ample experimental evidence to support the idea that all these strategies occur during silent reading in Chinese among native readers but is this true for non-native readers?
