  • LANGUAGE AND READING 1: WORD RECOGNITION
    • - Learn about common methods that are used to study visual word recognition. How they work and what they can tell us?
      • EYE TRACKING
      • LEXICAL DECISION TASK
        • PRIMING
      • NAMING TASK
    • Gain knowledge of factors that influence word recogniton process - how easy or difficult it is to recognise a particular word
      • WORD FREQUENCY
        • Commonly used words are recognised more easily than infrequent words
          • Schilling et al (Rayner & Chumbley, 1998) used a naming task, lexical decision task and eye tracing to investigate this.
            • Naming and Lexical decision examined the speed of recognition IN ISOLATION, and eye tracking was IN CONTEXT
      • PREDICTABILITY
        • predictable words are recognised more easily than those in neutral or misleading contexts
          • SUPPORTING EVIDENCE - Tulving and Gold (1963)
      • NEIGHBOURHOOD EFFECTS
        • word identification can be sped up when similar words  (the number of other words that are similar to the target) exist within the language
          • Orthographic and Phonological Neighbours
    • Understand models of word recognition
      • MORTON'S 1969, 1979 LOGOGEN MODEL
        • semantic priming - Neely (1977)
      • INTERACTIVE ACTIVATION MODEL - MCCLELLAND AND RUMELHART (1981)
        • DISADVANTAGE of slotting issue, Velan and Frost (2007) and Norris & Kinoshita (2012) transposed priming evidence - Perea and Lupker (2003)
        • SUPPORTING EVIDENCE - Martin et al (2006) SEAT & Chen and Mirman (2012) high freq words are more activated than low
      • DUAL ROUTE (CASCADED) MODEL - COLTHEART ET AL., (2001)
        • helps to understand dyslexia
      • WEAK PHONOLOGICAL MODEL, COLTHEART ET AL., (2001)
        • Coltheart et al, 2001 - support for Weak, Evidence against interactive
        • Van orden (1987) studies on homophones - ps made more errors when there was a phonological neighbour
    • Understand how these models relate to experimental evidence
  • word superiority effect - Reicher, 1969 and Wheeler, 1970
