Abstract
Current models of word reading differ in their descriptions of how print-to-sound conversion is performed. Whereas a parallel procedure is generally assumed, the DRC model developed by Coltheart and Colleagues (Coltheart et al., 2001) holds that phonological conversion operates letter-by-letter, serially from left to right. An interesting aspect of the hypothesized serial procedure is that only the first letter of two-letter graphemes is thought to cause activation of its corresponding phonological code, the second letter of multi-letter graphemes being directly merged with the preceding letter to form a complex grapheme. This hypothesis was examined in a task in which participants had to detect target phonemes in visually presented pseudowords. The data suggest that phonological codes associated with all the letters of the multi-letter graphemes are activated. 3 Reading words aloud requires readers to match orthographic units with phonological ones. A question that has attracted consi...
