The numerals 2-9 were randomly imbedded at one of three locations within words, pronounceable word fragments, and random sequences of letters which were presented tachistoscopically in random order to 24 Ss in a 3 x 3 repeated measures design. (Editor)

This paper reports some experimental evidence on the viability of the preliminary letter recognition hypothesis. (Author)

Reports on an investigation of the role of letter and order information in lexical access, using an interference paradigm in a lexical decision task. (Author/AM)

Investigates the effects of linguistic context, more particularly, semantic context in the form of an incomplete sentence, on the ability of observers to classify letter strings as words or nonwords. (Author/RK)

The object of this investigation was to demonstrate whether or not the predictabilities of the individual letters of words influence recognition of a word. The results indicate that letter predictability influences both accurate word recognition and letter recognition. (DE)

Both fourth-grade children and adult Ss searched faster for target letters through common words than nonwords (scrambled collections of letters), through third-order pseudowords than nonwords. (Editor)
