TI  - Typing is writing: Linguistic properties modulate typing execution.
PG  - 1898-1906
AB  - Typing is becoming our preferred way of writing. Perhaps because of the relative 
      recency of this change, very few studies have investigated typing from a 
      psycholinguistic perspective. In addition, and despite obvious similarities 
      between typing and handwriting, typing research has remained rather disconnected 
      from handwriting research. The current study aimed at bridging this gap by 
      evaluating how typing is affected by a number of psycholinguistic variables 
      defined at the word, syllable, and letter levels. In a writing-to-dictation task, 
      we assessed typing performance by measuring response accuracy, onset latencies - 
      an index of response preparation and initiation - and interkeystroke intervals 
      (IKIs) - an index of response execution processes. The lexical and sublexical 
      factors revealed a composite pattern of effects. Lexical frequency improved 
      response latencies and accuracy, while bigram frequency speeded up IKIs. 
      Sound-spelling consistency improved latencies, but had an inhibitory effect on 
      IKI. IKIs were also longer at syllable boundaries. Together, our findings can be 
      fit within a framework for typed production that combines the previously 
      developed theories of spelling and typing execution. At their interface, we 
      highlight the need for an intermediate hierarchical stage, perhaps in the form of 
      a graphemic buffer for typing.
