Document Summary

Ideniies a paricular ime for each phoneme even though features are difuse. Ideniies a sequence of phonemes even though features overlap. Explains the percepion of a sequence of phonemes. Feedback to feature level causes features to be consistent with the acivated phoneme. Silence acivates incorrect alternaives (like when you slice out gaps every 100ms) Noise removes silence as a feature (if you replace silence gaps with noise it becomes easier to understand) Lack of phoneme may be compensated by feedback. Sentence context could make some words more likely & more acive. Context efects (not part of original trace model) Units acivated by other, non-phonological input (visual, sense, environment etc) Comprehension research methods: recogniion, naming, lexical decision, metacomprehension. Comprehension as structure building: foundaion, mapping, shiting, enhancement, suppression. (3) levels of comprehension: surface structure, proposiional textbase, situaion model. Gaze duraion in reading: immediacy & eye-mind assumpions (will cover in class) Models of reading: surface form efects, textbase and situaion model efects.
