WORD RECOGNITION
Three processing clusters in the reading
process
1.Visual information processing (converting
print into linguistic information)
2. Cognitive processing (integrating segmental
information in text)
3.3. Metacognitive processing (relating the
textual information to prior knowledge) (Miller,
1988)
WORD RECOGNITION
Model #1: Word Shape
The general idea is that we see words as a
complete patterns rather than the sum of
letter parts. James Cattell (1886) was the
first psychologist to propose this as a model
of word recognition. Some claim that the
information used to recognize a word is the
pattern of ascending, descending, and
neutral characters.
WORD RECOGNITION
Model #2: Serial Letter Recognition
The shortest lived model of word recognition is that
words are read letter-by-letter serially from left to
right. Gough (1972) proposed this model because
it was easy to understand, and far more testable
than the word shape model of reading. In essence,
recognizing a word in the mental lexicon was
analogous to looking up a word in a dictionary. You
start off by finding the first letter, than the second,
and so on until you recognize the word.

Model #3: Parallel Letter Recognition
