MROM-p: An Interactive Activation, Multiple Readout Model of Orthographic and Phonological Processes in Visual Word Recognition
Year: 1998

Abstract: In contrast, in the LDT, feedforward inconsistency effects are much less clear. To the extent that the LDT does not require an overt pronunciation,
it is also less likely to be sensitive to feedforward consistency (Jared et al.,
1990). Two studies (Brown, 1987; Jared et al., 1990) that used more carefully
controlled stimuli than did older studies failed to find an effect. In contrast,
Stone et al. (997) provided one of the first experimental demonstrations of
a feedforward consistency effect in the LDT using English-speaking participants (see Pugh, Rexer, & Katz, 1994, for an earlier demonstration). Stone
et al. (997) found that mean LDT latency to feedforward inconsistent words
was 48 milliseconds longer than for feedforward consistent words when all
words were feedback consistent. For words that were feedback inconsistent
(i.e ., whose phonological body maps onto more than one spelling, such as
/ -ip/ in DEEP and HEAP), the effect decreased to 8 milliseconds. This finding
suggests that previous studies might have failed to detect the effect because
they did not control for feedback consistency. Ziegler et al. (in press-a)
replicated this effect in French. They obtained effects similar to Stone et al.:
A 53-millisecond feedforward consistency effect when words were feedback
consistent decreased to 12 milliseconds when feedback inconsistent words
were used. To the extent that this effect can be successfully replicated and
because the LDT requires no overt pronunciation, the feedforward consistency effect in the LDT provides stronger evidence for bidirectional influences of orthographic-phonological processes in visual word recognition
than do the results from the naming task reported earlier.
