A Word Superiority Effect in a Phonetically Precise Orthography
Other things being equal, a letter is identified more accurately and rapidly in the context of a word than in the context of a nonword. This word-superiori ty effect has been demonstrated many times wi th materials conforming to English orthography. The present experiment, using the probe letter-recogni tion procedure, demonstrates the same effect for the Serbo-Croatian orthography. In that the...
متن کاملThe word-superiority effect does not require a T-scope.
Six experiments examined the possibility of obtaining a word-superiority effect (WSE) without the use of brief stimulus exposures or a poststimulus mask. In each experiment, subjects were presented a stimulus string and two alternative strings that differed by a single letter (Reicher, 1969). The alternatives and stimulus remained in view until subjects responded, and subjects were under no pre...
متن کاملSearch asymmetries with real faces: testing the anger-superiority effect.
The anger-superiority hypothesis states that angry faces are detected more efficiently than friendly faces. Previously research used schematized stimuli, which minimizes perceptual confounds, but violates ecological validity. The authors argue that a confounding of appearance and meaning is unavoidable and even unproblematic if real faces are presented. Four experiments tested carefully control...
متن کاملWord Superiority in Chinese
I Department of Linguistics, University of Connecticut ! I 1 In a line of research that began with Cattell (1886). it has been demonstrated that words play a special role in the recognition of text. A letter string that forms a word is recognized faster and more accurately than a nonword string; a letter is recognized faster and more accurately if it is presented as part of a word than if it is...
متن کاملNote Left Field Superiority for Word Matching*
-Subjects asked to match a word presented in one visual field to a previously exposed word presented across the fields demonstrated higher accuracy for words in the left visual field. This result is contrary to existing views of right field superiority in word recognition. The left field superiority suggests that word recognition is a multistage process and cannot be considered to be invariably...
