Study Notes
- The focus is on computational models of reading aloud single words.
- Acquired dyslexia is the partial or complete loss of the ability to read after a brain lesion.
- The dual-route model suggests that there are at least two different procedures for transforming print-to-speech.
- The nonlexical route involves making use of rules relating segments of orthography to segments of phonology.
- The lexical route involves looking up words in long-term memory to retrieve knowledge about their meaning and pronunciation.
- The Dual-Route Cascaded (DRC) Model is a model of reading that involves both the nonlexical and lexical routes.
- The demands on the lexical vs. nonlexical route vary as a function of the transparency of the language.
- Key effects found in both DRC and human readers include words read faster than nonwords, high-frequency words read faster than low-frequency words, and regular words read faster and more accurately than irregular words.
- Irregular words are generally harder to read than regular words.
- Grapheme-phoneme conversion is key to reading both unknown and irregular words.
