“…Importantly, these segments were longer for professional writers compared to college students. Based on this pioneering study and others showing that language skill (Chenoweth & Hayes, 2001) and available working memory capacity (Chenoweth & Hayes, 2003) influenced burst length, Hayes (2009Hayes ( , 2012 proposed that a key source of bursts was translating, that is, the conversion of ideas into linguistic forms (see also Hayes & Chenoweth, 2006. Nevertheless, recent studies have been showing that, when not automatized, transcription also contributes to burst length.…”

Writing development seems heavily dependent upon the automatization of transcription. This study aimed to further investigate the link between transcription and writing by examining the effects of promoting handwriting and spelling skills on a comprehensive set of writing measures (viz., bursts and pauses, levels of written language, and writing performance). Second graders were randomly assigned to one of three intervention programs aimed to promote handwriting (n = 18), spelling (n = 17), or keyboarding (n = 20) skills. These programs were implemented during 10 weekly units composed of four 30-min lessons. The most reliable and robust differences were found between the handwriting and keyboarding interventions. Handwriting students displayed greater handwriting fluency, showed longer bursts and shorter pauses, and wrote longer and better stories than keyboarding students. This study supports the contention that transcription is critical in writing, by leveraging several aspects of early text production. Specifically, a key finding is that handwriting seems to be causally related to increases in burst length, which is a cornerstone in allowing writing fluency.

“…According to the influential writing processes view (Hayes & Flower, 1980), the two most important high-level writing processes are planning, which is the generation and organization of ideas along with the formulation of rhetorical goals, and translating, which is the conversion of generated ideas into well-formed strings of language (Chenoweth & Hayes, 2001).…”

This study examined the relationships between transcription, high-level writing processes, and writing performance in . Structural equation modeling was used to test the direct effects of handwriting fluency and spelling accuracy on planning and translating, and of these latter on writing performance, as well as the indirect effects of handwriting fluency and spelling accuracy on writing performance, via planning and translating. Results showed that the proposed model fitted the data extremely well, explaining 46% of the variability in writing performance. We found that higher handwriting fluency was associated with better planning skills, higher spelling accuracy was associated with better translating skills, and better planning and translating skills were associated with greater writing performance. We found indirect effects of handwriting fluency and spelling accuracy on writing performance, respectively, via planning and translating. These results suggest that transcription continues to impact on writing during teenage school years, by constraining high-level writing processes.
