- 1Word recognitionAccording to Literacy Information and Communication System (LINCS), word recognition is "the ability of a reader to recognize written words correctly and virtually effortlessly".
- 2Another term for word recognitionLexical decision task
- 3Lexical decision taskIn the lexical decision task, a person is presented, on each trial, with a target string of letters, and must judge whether the target string is a correctly spelled word in English (or some other reference language).

Model of parallel letter recognition
Serial recognition model
Neural networks of word recognition
Frequency effect - 5Bouma shape theoryHerman Bouma (1973)
People recognize words from the shape the letters make in a group, relative to each other. Via prior exposure, people become familiar with outlines, and thereby recognize them the next time they are presented with the same word, or bouma. - 6Model of Parallel Letter RecognitionIn this model, all letters within a group are perceived simultaneously and this information is used for word recognition.
- 7Serial recognition modelThis model proposes that letters are recognized individually, one by one, before being integrated for word recognition.
- 8Neural networks of word recognitionVisual aspects of a word activate word-recognizing receptors that excite connections to words with characters matching the visual representation of the word being observed and inhibit connections with irrelevant words. This activates the correct word as part of word recognition in the neural network.
- 9Frequency effectIt suggests that words which appear the most in printed language are recognized faster and more accurately than words which appear less frequently.
- 10Word superiority effectThe word superiority effect refers to the fact that letters (i.e., lower-level information) are more accurately reported when presented in words than when presented in nonwords.
- 113 steps to make word recognition automaticPhonological awareness
Decoding
Sight recognition of high frequency words - 12Phonological awarenessAwareness of various-sized units of sounds in spoken words such as rhymes (whole words), syllables (large parts of words), and phonemes (individual sounds).
- 13DecodingIt is a deliberate act in which readers must “consciously and deliberately apply their knowledge of the mapping system to produce a plausible pronunciation of a word they do not instantly recognize”.
- 14Sight word recognitionRecognizing words that an individual can read as a whole word, without sounding it out.
- 15Benefit of word-recognition strategiesStrategies that permit children to quickly and automatically translate letters or spelling patterns of written words into speech sounds can be used with children having reading disabilities so that they can identify words and gain rapid access to their meanings.
- 16ApplicationWord recognition tasks can be used with children, poor readers and individuals with learning disabilities to increase their awareness of spelling patterns.
