1. As this is the case, part of the research will examine various experimental techniques used previously in studies on word recognition. 2. However, the implications of the work extend beyond theories of face recognition to theories of visual object and word recognition. 3. In doing so we have argued that the processes involved in word recognition are rather different for spoken and printed words. 4. In the first stage of word recognition, cohort reduction occurs as early sensory information defines the word-initial cohort. 5. Models of face processing Finally, I want to move from cognitive models of word recognition to cognitive models of face recognition. 6. Psychological studies of word recognition propose models of interaction between the different levels of processing which combine to give recognition. 7. Thus hearing a word, or producing it in response to an incomplete definition, will not prime visual word recognition. 8. We then went on to describe the Johnston-McClelland model of visual word recognition and the Cohort model of auditory word recognition. 9. Psychological models of speech recognition at first concentrated on the way in which sentential context could speed up the process of word recognition in fluent speech. 10. For example, Marslen-Wilson and Welsh contrasting isolated word recognition with recognition in context show no awareness of the problems introduced by word boundary ambiguity. |
