Visual word recognition models should also be constrained by knowledge about the visual system

Pablo Gomez et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

Frost's article advocates for universal models of reading and critiques recent models that concentrate in what has been described as "cracking the orthographic code." Although the challenge to develop models that can account for word recognition beyond Indo-European languages is welcomed, we argue that reading models should also be constrained by general principles of visual processing and object recognition.
