The implications of three versions of the contrastive analysis hypothesis (CAH) are explored. The strong and weak forms are rejected in favor of a more moderate version which predicts the results of a spelling error analysis on the dictation section of the UCLA placement examination in English as a second language. Spelling errors of foreign students whose native language employed a Roman alphabet (Group R) were compared with spelling errors of foreign students whose native language used some non-Roman system (Group NR). An analysis of covariance with non-spelling errors as the covariate, and spelling errors as the dependent vari- able showed NR superior to R (p < .025) with a significantly smaller percentage of spelling errors. These results support a more moderate CAH which predicts that spelling errors are based on “interferencet1 of similar patterns due to false generalizations.
