Reading aloud is not automatic: processing capacity is required to generate a phonological code from print.

摘要: The present experiments tested the claim that phonological recoding occurs "automatically" by assessing whether it uses central attention in context of psychological refractory period paradigm. Task 1 was a tone discrimination task and 2 reading aloud. joint effects long-lag word repetition priming stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) were underadditive Experiment 1, suggesting an early component lexical processing does not use attention. In contrast, nonword letter length grapheme-phoneme complexity yielded additive with SOA Experiments 2, 3, 4, assembled phonology Further, orthographic neighborhood density also 5, 6, 7, contributions to Taken together, results these are inconsistent widespread codes and/or addressed automatically. It is suggested "automaticity" should be replaced accounts make more specific claims about how unfolds.
