The study of orthographic processing has broadened research in visual word recognition

Carol Whitney. Behav Brain Sci. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

Interest in orthographic processing reflects an expansion, not constriction, of the scope of research in visual word recognition (VWR). Transposition effects are merely one aspect of investigations into orthographic encoding, while open bigrams can accommodate differences across languages. The target article's inaccurate characterization of the study of orthographic processing is not conducive to the advancement of VWR research.
