ABSTRACT

The Logogen model of word recognition (Morton & Patterson, 1980), which is outlined in Fig. 3.1, postulates that the pronunciation for printed letter strings can be obtained in one of three ways. One of these ways involves treating the stimulus as a sequence of graphemes which are converted by rule into a phonological code. A second way involves categorisation of the stimulus in the visual input logogen system and the subsequent transmission of information to the cognitive system. Here the appropriate semantics can be found and sent to the output logogen system where the phonological code is obtained. The third way again involves the categorisation of the stimulus in the visual input logogen system, but instead of information being subsequently sent to the cognitive system, it is sent directly to the output logogen system where the appropriate phonological code is produced.
