TL;DR
A modified priming task was used to investigate whether skilled readers are able to adjust the degree to which lexical and sublexical information contribute to naming, and it is argued that these results are consistent with an attentional control hypothesis.
Abstract
A modified priming task was used to investigate whether skilled readers are able to adjust the degree to which lexical and sublexical information contribute to naming. On each trial, participants named 5 low-frequency exception word primes or 5 nonword primes before a target. The low-frequency exception word primes should have produced a greater dependence on lexical information, whereas the nonword primes should have produced a greater dependence on sublexical information. Across 4 experiments, the effects of lexicality, regularity, frequency, and imageability were all modulated in predictable ways on the basis of the notion that the primes directed attention to specific processing pathways. It is argued that these results are consistent with an attentional control hypothesis.

A proposal along these lines first described by Jordan (1986) which involves the use of recurrent links in order to provide networks with a dynamic memory and suggests a method for representing lexical categories and the type/token distinction is developed.

A parallel distributed processing model of visual word recognition and pronunciation is described, which consists of sets of orthographic and phonological units and an interlevel of hidden units and which early in the learning phase corresponds to that of children acquiring word recognition skills.

Analysis of the ability of networks to reproduce data on acquired surface dyslexia support a view of the reading system that incorporates a graded division of labor between semantic and phonological processes, and contrasts in important ways with the standard dual-route account.

A model of attention is presented within a parallel distributed processing framework, and it is proposed that the attributes of automaticity depend on the strength of a processing pathway and that strength increases with training.

It is argued that decision processes having little to do with lexical access accentuate the word-frequency effect in the lexical decision task and that results from this task have questionable value in testing the assumption that word frequency orders the lexicon, thereby affecting time to access the mental lexicon.

Compared with simple feedforward networks, representing phonological knowledge in an attractor network yielded improved learning and generalization and provides a computationally explicit account of many aspects of reading acquisition using connectionist principles.

The results of three sets of experiments were interpreted as strong support for the orthographical depth hypothesis and suggest, in general, that in shallow orthographies phonology is generated directly from print, whereas in deep orthographies sounds are derived from the internal lexicon.

It is proposed that semantic representations of words have the largest impact on translating orthography to phonology when this translation process is slow or noisy (i.e., for low-frequency exceptions) and that words with rich semantic representations are most likely to benefit from this interaction.

Perception is described within a complex systems framework that includes several constructs: resonance, attractors, subsymbols, and design principles that is applied in this article to explain phonologic mediation in reading and a complex array of published naming and lexical decision data.

The time-course model of word recognition suggests that effects of irregular spelling or pronunciation should be specific to more slowly recognized words, such as lower frequency items, as shown in previous studies and replicated here.

It is argued for a pluralistic approach to theory development that moves from lower to higher order isomorphisms between data and theory, which characterize qualitative predictions of broad classes of models within that framework.

The findings suggest that reading normally occurs lexically, and the characteristics of the various writing systems, however, are relevant in determining the strategies that people may adopt in unusual circumstances.

The J. McClelland (1990) model of Stroop task performance is used to model data from a study by D. H. Spielder, D. Balota, and M.

The results indicated that there was a normal word frequency effect in the standard speeded naming task, whereas, for the regularization task, the wordfrequency effect was reversed for regular words, even though the regular words were pronounced in an identical fashion in both the normal naming and the regularized tasks.
