Reading aloud is not automatic: Processing capacity is required to generate a phonological code from print
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The process of generating a phonological code from print is widely described as automatic. This claim is tested in Chapter 1 by assessing whether phonological recoding uses central attention in the context of the ... -
Reading Aloud: Feedback is Never Necessary
(University of Waterloo, 2010-12-16)Since McClelland and Rumelhart (1981) introduced the concept of interactive activation (IA) to the field of visual word recognition, IA has been adopted by all of the major theoretical models of reading aloud. This widespread ... -
Reading Aloud: Qualitative Differences in the Relation between Stimulus Quality and Word Frequency as a Function of Context
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-14)Virtually all theories of visual word recognition assume (typically implicitly) that when a pathway is used, processing within that pathway always unfolds in the same way. This view is challenged by the observation that ... -
The reading modality of popular trauma talk from within the province of human practice: A phenomenological hermeneutic perspective
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-27)The term trauma occurs on a regular and frequent basis in Canadian newspapers. Contemporary inquiries into the phenomenon of the popularity of the term “trauma” have argued that trauma has become: a term that has drifted ... -

Reading the Urban Form: An Urban Morphological Evaluation of Downtown Sports Facilities in London and Hamilton, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2013-12-09)Over the past few decades, the issue of downtown revitalization has been a priority for planners and civic leaders. One strategy of attracting people, jobs and investment to the downtown is by constructing a catalytic ... -
Reading Your Counterpart: Culture, Meaning, and Function of Nonverbal Behaviour in Negotiation
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-14)Literature on cross-cultural negotiation suggests that the challenges negotiators often face in intercultural interactions stem from miscommunication. While prior research examined verbal messages in this context, there ... -
Ready Worker One? High-Res VR for the Home Office
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-10-09)Many employees prefer to work from home, yet struggle to squeeze their office into an already fully-utilized space. Virtual Reality (VR) seemingly offered a solution with its ability to transform even modest physical spaces ... -
Real equiangular lines and related codes
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-24)We consider real equiangular lines and related codes. The driving question is to find the maximum number of equiangular lines in a given dimension. In the real case, this is controlled by combinatorial phenomena, and until ... -
Real Impact of CO2 Utilization: A Dynamic LCA Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-17)Global warming has received widespread attention in recent years due to increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pertinent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Various solutions have been proposed to reduce the ... -
Real Mixed Use: Combining Living and Production on Underused Historic Industrial Sites to Resist Gentrification
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-19)Changing economic conditions and production requirements have caused manufacturing and other secondary industries to move away from the urban core of mid-sized cities in Southern Ontario, such as London, Hamilton, and ... -
Real Options and Asset Valuation in Competitive Energy Markets
(University of Waterloo, 2007-12-07)The deregulation of energy markets around the world, including power markets has changed the way operating assets in these markets are managed. Independent power asset owners and even utilities operating in these markets ... -
