Comparison of Visual Word Recognition in Adult and Geriatric Population

Nisthul Bensi, Dr. Satish Kumaraswamy and Mr. Mishal K

Introduction

Speech perception refers to the set of operations that transform an auditory signal into representations of a form that makes contact with internally stored information – that is, the stored words in a listener’s mental lexicon. (Brain Mapping, 2015)

Word recognition refers to a component process of language. Word recognition transforms written and spoken forms of words into linguistic representations. Historically, word recognition also referred to lexical decision performance. (Moreno, 2001)

Word recognition is the process of recognizing a word's pronunciation when it is presented to the eye and does so automatically and without conscious effort. It is difficult to focus on understanding material when reading requires purposeful, laborious decoding. The ability to read words with meaning is an important early goal because reading comprehension is the ultimate goal of training children to read. Visual word recognition plays a big role in reading. Although it seems that readers have minimal issue identifying words that are visually presented, the procedures by which orthography is translated into phonology and semantics are far from straightforward.

When a stimulus's features match the orthography (or spelling) of an entry in the mental lexicon, recognition of the word takes place. In visual word recognition, the entire word may be viewed at once (if it is short enough).

It is well acknowledged that spoken and written word recognition uses semantic and syntactic representations. But whether spoken and written words have different lexical representations has been hotly contested. Some academics contend that a word must first be transformed into a sound representation in order to gain semantic and grammatical information about it. If so, all that is needed for each word is a phonological representation (e.g., one that shows the sequence of component phonemes and the stress pattern).
