| Abstract: | Using normal adult readers, this study examined the relative involvement of magnocellular and parvocellular processes in reading
English phonologically regular pseudowords and irregular words presented in isolation and in contiguity from left to right.
The data showed that a low temporal frequency visual measure that implied more parvocellular involvement was active in processing
irregular words presented singly and pseudowords presented in contiguity. However, the results failed to show the involvement
of the magnocellular pathway (as implicated by low spatial and/or high temporal frequency visual measures) in reading words
presented in contiguity from left to right. The discrepancy was discussed in terms of the sensitivity of the tasks used in
testing the two pathways. |
