ABSTRACT
Psychologists and cognitive scientists aim to understand the universals involved when the brain deals with written language. Seidenberg and McClelland’s “triangle model” of the reading of monosyllabic English words has been substantially developed (e.g. Harm & Seidenberg, 1999), but with little application to languages other than English. Here we report our initial application of this approach to the reading of Chinese, a radically different orthography from English, illuminating processing universals in reading.
