Question

-

-
connectionist
-
consistency
-
regularity
-
regularity
-
consistency
Question 12
Question
Jared (2002) showed that a regular and consistent word had faster reaction times than a regular inconsistent word. This effect was also present for high frequency words. What does this suggest about regularity vs consistency?

-
Consistency plays a stronger role in reading than regularity.
-
Regularity and consistency both have similar effects on our reading ability.
