The nature and time course of phonological representations in reading

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案中描述的研究涉及无声阅读期间的在线单词识别过程。在该提案中，描述了一些研究，其中眼动和电生理数据收集的主题阅读孤立的单词和单词的句子上下文。该提案的目标是使用最具时间敏感性的技术来检查阅读中语音表征的性质和时间过程。拟议的实验检查音段和超音段水平的语音表示，调查的过程中，元音，辅音和音节的信息参与单词识别。这项研究应该是有用的，在理解一般的表征过程，阅读的发展，熟练的阅读，和中央凹和旁脑单词识别过程之间的关系。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The research described in this proposal is concerned with on-line word recognition processes during silent reading. In the proposal, a number of studies are described in which eye movement and electrophysiological data are collected as subjects read isolated words and words in sentence contexts. The goal of the proposal is to use the most temporally sensitive technologies available to examine the nature and timecourse of phonological representations in reading. The proposed experiments examine phonological representation at the segmental and supra-segmental levels, investigating the processes by which vowel, consonant, and syllable information is involved in word recognition. This research should be useful in understanding representational processes in general, reading development, skilled reading, and the relationship between foveal and parafoveal word recognition processes.
