dc.description.abstract | Do all visual features in aword's constituent letters have the same importance during lexical access? Herewe examined
whether some components of a word's letters (midsegments, junctions, terminals) are more important
than others. To that end,we conducted two lexical decision experiments using a delayed segment techniquewith
lowercase stimuli. In this technique a partial previewappears for 50ms and is immediately followed by the target
item. In Experiment 1, the partial preview was composed of terminals+junctions,midsegments+junctions, or
midsegments + terminals — a whole preview condition was used as a control. Results only revealed an advantage
of the whole preview condition over the other three conditions. In Experiment 2, the partial preview was
composed of the whole word except for the deletion of midsegments, junctions, or terminals — we again
employed a whole preview condition as a control. Results showed the following pattern in the latency data:
whole preview = delay of terminals b delay of junctions b delay of midsegments. Thus, some components of a
word's constituent letters are more critical for word identification than others. We examine how the present
findings help adjust current models of visual word identification or develop new ones. | es |
