The main findings so far have shown clearly that the task type determined misspelling rates. The percentage rate of misspellings in accordance with task type is in ascending order: 68.21 (spelling words from dictation), 30.57 (auditory/ visual word matching), and 1.21 (short essays). The results from the short essay task indicated that the spelling errors were simply random mistakes, where almost all of the target words were misspelled only once, by one participant per item. The misspellings under Task 3 were thus performance-based. This is illustrated in the following table.
