Abstract

Neuropsychological and developmental differences in reading have long informed visual word recognition theories. For instance, identification of whole-word readers (i.e., phonological dyslexics, Chinese-style readers) and part-word readers (i.e., surface dyslexics, Phoenician-style readers) has constrained visual word recognition theories. The influence of variability in normal readers’ cognitive abilities on visual word recognition is yet to be explored. Differences in visual and attentional processes, long- and short-term memory, verbal and nonverbal cognitive ability, and auditory and phonological processing could influence lexical processing, which should constrain such theories. We describe the Warwick Oral Reading Differences project, which seeks to relate these factors to the strength of lexical effects on the response times typically observed in normal adult naming experiments (i.e., word frequency, length, neighborhood size, regularity, and consistency) to further constrain the interpretation of these effects and, thus, model development. Findings from the project are presented.
