Australia"Both volumes of Visual Word Recognition will serve as a crucial! up-to-date theoretical and experimental aid for young and experienced scientists in the field of reading research." - Nicola Pitchford! Associate Professor of Psychology! University of Nottingham! UK Informationen zum Autor James S. Adelman first became involved in visual word recognition research whilst reading for a degree in Mathematics and Psychology at the University of Liverpool. From there! he went on to complete a PhD and various externally funded research projects at the University of Warwick! where he has been an Assistant Professor since 2010. Klappentext Word recognition is the component of reading which involves the identification of individual words. Together the two volumes of 'Visual Word Recognition' offer a state-of-the-art overview of contemporary research from leading figures in the field. Zusammenfassung The two volumes serve as a state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of the field. They are essential reading for researchers of visual word recognition, and students on undergraduate and postgraduate courses in cognition and cognitive psychology, specifically the psychology of language and reading.
