READING, SUBLEXICAL UNITS AND SCRAMBLED WORDS: CAPTURING THE HUMAN DATA

摘要

We look at what role there might be for sublexical units in lexical representation in the modeling of isolated visual word recognition and in the reading of text. A variety of psycholinguistic paradigms have been used to investigate exactly how much information about letter order is required to recognize a word. We review some of the phenomena and some of the modeling solutions before suggesting an anatomically-based input representation that is capable of capturing important phenomena in reading in a parsimonious way.
