Letter Recognition: From Perception to Representation

A Special Issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology

• Edited by Matthew Finkbeiner, and Max Coltheart.

Published June 2009

Detailed computational modelling of reading has been much pursued in the past twenty years, and several specific computational models of visual word recognition and reading aloud have been developed. These models offer computational accounts of many aspects of reading, but all have neglected the…

Advances in Morphological Processing

A Special Issue of Language and Cognitive Processes

• Edited by Ram Frost, Jonathan Grainger and Manuel Carreiras.

Published November 2008

Ten years ago, a group of researchers investigating the processing of morphological information met in the south of France to discuss how morphology affects word recognition, perception and production from a cross-linguistic perspective. This special issue is the fourth volume to expose the results…

Situation Models and Levels of Coherence

Toward a Definition of Comprehension

• By Isabelle Tapiero.

Published July 2007

The mental representation of what one reads is called a "situation model" or a "mental model." The process of reading causes an interaction of the new knowledge with what is already known. Though a number of theories and models have been proposed to describe this interaction, Tapiero proposes a new…
