Front 10

Which of the following supports the possibility of whole word recognition?

Back 10

Word length does not affect visual word recognition
response

–  Word superiority effect
•  e.g., detecting ‘r’ is enhanced if presented with Carpet or Harpot rather than Ctrpae or even ‘r’

–  In lexical decision, pseudowords are faster to reject if
they do not resemble real words (Brinj vs. Bringe)

–  Suggests a dedicated mechanism for processing
known words
Word length does not affect visual word recogni6on
