Does "whole-word shape" play a role in visual word recognition?
To analyze the impact of outline shape on visual word recognition, the visual pattern of the stimuli can be distorted by size alternation. Contrary to the predictions of models that rely on outline shape (Allen, Wallace, & Weber, 1995), the effect of size alternation was greater for low-frequency words than for high-frequency words in a lexical decision task (Experiment 1). In Experiment 2, the...
متن کاملImproved word shape matching for whole word recognition
The word matching process is performed in two stages. First the sequence of ascenders/ descenders is matched with the word shape database. This is performed in a strict manner. Then, for each located word, a degree of similarity is calculated. Two criteria are taken into account: relative position of ascenders/descenders within the word and the word length. A number of approaches have been trie...
متن کاملA word shape analysis approach to lexicon based word recognition
Ho, T.K., J.J. Hull and S.N. Srihari, A word shape analysis approach to lexicon based word recognition, Pattern Recognition Letters 13 (1992) 821-826. A method for word recognition is presented that is based on an analysis of the shape of a word as a whole object. It is demonstrated to be a useful alternative for recognizing degraded word images that are prone to errors in character segmentation.
متن کاملThe word shape hypothesis re-examined: evidence for an external feature advantage in visual word recognition
This study investigates the relative roles of internal and external letter features in word recognition. In Experiment 1 the efficacy of outer word fragments (words with all their horizontal internal features removed) was compared with inner word fragments (words with their outer features removed) as primes in a forward masking paradigm. These forward masked primes were followed by a word to be...
متن کاملA phoneme effect in visual word recognition.
In alphabetic writing systems like English or French, many words are composed of more letters than phonemes (e.g. BEACH is composed of five letters and three phonemes, i.e./biJ/). This is due to the presence of higher order graphemes, that is, groups of letters that map into a single phoneme (e.g. EA and CH in BEACH map into the single phonemes /i/ and /J/, respectively). The present study inve...
