Over the last twenty years a major area of cognitive psychology has
developed centred upon research into the issues of how visually
presented words are processed so that they can be read and
understood. The focus has been on how words are stored in the
mental lexicon and retrieved during the reading process. If we
possessed no mental lexicon, we would be unable to read. This book
dedicates itself to a critical evaluation of the ideas that have
emerged from this body of research. The text outlines the major
models of lexical processing that have been put forward in the
literature, and how they explain the basic empirical findings that
have been reported. It then goes on to consider the possible
influence that sentential context has on lexical processing, the
impact of the pronunciation of a word on its visual processing, and
the role played by internal word structure (i.e., syllables and
morphemes) in the recognition of a word. A connectionist style
model emerges during the course of the evaluation of these issues.
This book is suitable for advanced students and researchers, and is
intended to serve as a springboard for discussion and an
inspiration for empirical research.
