Reconsidering the role of orthographic redundancy in visual word recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
Humans are known to continuously extract regularities from the flow of stimulation. This occurs in many facets of behavior, including reading. In spite of the ubiquitous evidence that readers become sensitive to orthographic regularities after very little exposure to print, the role of orthographic regularities receives at best a peripheral status in current theories of orthographic processing. In the present article, after the presentation of previous evidence on orthographic redundancy, the hypothesis that orthographic regularities may play a prominent role in word perception is developed.

متن کاملMorphological and semantic effects in visual word recognition: A time-course study
Some theories of visual word recognition postulate that there is a level of processing or representation at which morphemes are treated differently fromwhole words. Support for these theories has been derived from priming experiments in which the recognition of a target word is facilitated by the prior presentation of amorphologically related prime (departure-DEPART). In English, such facilitat...
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...
متن کاملThe effects of orthographic neighborhood in reading and laboratory word identification tasks: A review
This paper reviews recent research on the effects of “orthographic neighbors” (i.e., words that can be created by changing one letter of the stimulus item, preserving letter positions, see Coltheart et al., 1977) on reading and laboratory word identification tasks. We begin this paper with a literature review on the two basic “neighborhood” effects (neighborhood size and neighborhood frequency)...
متن کاملReal-time Functional Architecture of Visual Word Recognition
Despite a century of research into visual word recognition, basic questions remain unresolved about the functional architecture of the process that maps visual inputs from orthographic analysis onto lexical form and meaning and about the units of analysis in terms of which these processes are conducted. Here we use magnetoencephalography, supported by a masked priming behavioral study, to addre...
