Abstract

Le présent article propose une recension des principaux travaux sur l'influence du voisinage orthographique lors de la reconnaissance des mots écrits. Les deux grands cadres théoriques de l'activation vérification et de l'activation interactive postulent l'activation initiale du voisinage orthographique et permettent de prédire avec précision quel est son impact lors de l'accès au lexique. Les résultats issus de 27 études suggèrent que les effets observés dépendent des tâches expérimentales et des indices de voisinage utilisés (densité, fréquence et distribution). Différentes pistes explicatives sont examinées. Dans l'ensemble, l'hypothèse de l'activation interactive semble fournir la meilleure explication des effets de voisinage orthographique lors de la reconnaissance des mots écritsRead less <

English Abstract

Investigated the role of orthographic neighbourhood in visual word recognition with a focus on the traditionally defined neighbourhood (corresponding to the set of words of the same length sharing all but 1 letter with the stimulus). The author states that 2 major theoretical frameworks, namely the activation verification and the interactive activation models, assume that orthographic neighbours are activated when a written word is presented. Predictions formulated by both models for words and pseudowords on the effects of neighbourhood size (NS), neighbourhood frequency (NF), and neighbourhood distribution (ND) are examined in order to assess the plausibility of serial vs interactive processes. Analysis was based on the findings from 27 empirical studies including more than 80 experiments. The results suggest that neighbourhood effects depend on the NS, NF, and ND; the particular task (lexical decision, naming, semantic categorization, perceptual identification, and reading); and on the languages (English, French, Spanish, and Dutch) that are used. These findings suggest that the lexical inhibition hypothesis which is central in the interactive activation framework is the most appropriate to account for the role of orthographic neighbourhoods in visual word recognitionRead less <
