Discussion

Experimental analysis shows sensitivity to bigram frequency predicts spelling, indicating varied impacts on literacy outcomes.

Sensitivity to bigram frequency showed moderate reliability and was significantly linked to spelling skills.
Novel orthographic learning measures had high reliability and were associated with spelling but not reading abilities.
The study suggests that different facets of statistical learning influence spelling independently.
Findings highlight the complexity of literacy, emphasizing distinct contributions of existing and new orthographic patterns.

Zhou et al. (2025) studied this question.
