About the Book
This volume presents a comprehensive state-of-the-art account of what is currently known about the psychology of reading. All the fundamental aspects of reading are considered: visual attention, visual feature analysis, visual masking, letter and word recognition, priming effects, eye movements in reading, phonological processing, working memory and reading, parsing, sentence comprehension, and text integration.
The subject of reading is approached from a variety of different theoretical perspectives, including cognitive psychology, connectionism, neuropsychology, and linguistics. This broad and comprehensive review will be of value not only for undergraduate and graduate teaching but also for research workers engaged in experimental or theoretical investigations of any aspect of the psychology of reading.
