Abstract

A dual-route model for the recognition of written words is hypothesised. The model postulates that the two cerebral hemispheres differ in their sensitivity to the visual format of verbal stimuli. Such stimuli may be 'standard', that is in Standard Visual Format (SVF), or "non-standard", i.e. in non-standard Visual Format (NSVF). In the left hemisphere (LH), SVF words are routed directly to the lexicon, while NSVF words must go through an additional encoding phase prior to lexicon access. In the right hemisphere (RH) all words (SVF and NSVF) must proceed to an additional encoding phase prior to accessing the lexicon. Two lateralized lexical decision experiments are reported. In Section 2, angle of orientation was used to define SVF and NSVF. In Section 3, presentation of verbal stimuli was preceded by a cue indicating whether the coming lexical stimulus was in SVF or NSVF, while SVF was defined as in Section 2. The results showed that the difference in RT, favouring RVF stimulation was found for orientations up to 30 degrees. Greater angles of presentation significantly reduced RVF superiority. The largest differences between responses to stimuli presented to the two visual fields was found when word stimuli were in SVF (up to 30 degrees ) and presented after a priming cue. The results are discussed in terms of the model, but alternative explanations are suggested.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
