Units of representation in visual word recognition.
A s you read these words, a complex sequence of processes are at work in your brain, identifying visual patterns (letters) that are mapped onto familiar units (words), the meanings of which are combined to allow comprehension. In this description, a mental dictionary or lexicon linking word forms (orthography) to word meanings (semantics) plays a central and critical role in the reading process...
متن کاملAre syllables phonological units in visual word recognition?
A number of studies have shown that syllables play an important role in visual word recognition in Spanish. We report three lexical decision experiments with a masked priming technique that examined whether syllabic effects are phonological or orthographic in nature. In all cases, primes were nonwords. In Experiment 1, latencies to CV words were faster when primes and targets shared the first s...
متن کامل[Representation of letter position in visual word recognition process].
Two experiments investigated the representation of letter position in visual word recognition process. In Experiment 1, subjects (12 undergraduates and graduates) were asked to detect a target word in a briefly-presented probe. Probes consisted of two kanji words. The latters which formed targets (critical letters) were always contained in probes. (e.g. target: [symbol: see text] probe: [symbol...
متن کاملOn the role of competing word units in visual word recognition: the neighborhood frequency effect.
Current models of word recognition generally assume that word units orthographically similar to a stimulus word are involved in the visual recognition of this word. We refer to this set of orthographically similar words as an orthographic neighborhood. Two experiments are presented that investigate the ways in which the composition of this neighborhood can affect word recognition. The data indi...
متن کاملRunning Head: PHONOGRAPHIC SUBLEXICAL UNITS Phonographic sublexical units in visual word recognition
Recent models of visual word recognition assume that sublexical orthographic-phonological information is organized according to an onset-nucleus-coda scheme (Plaut, McClelland, Seidenberg, & Patterson, 1996; Jacobs, Rey, Ziegler, & Grainger, 1998, but see Coltheart, Curtis, Atkins & Haller, 1993 for an alternative view). In this study we test the hypothesis that onsetnucleus-coda subsyllabic co...
