Decision Times for Word and Letter Search: A Wholistic Word Identification Model Examined

Sloboda, John A.

Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 15, 1, 93-101, Feb 76

Three experiments are reported regarding reaction time. Letter comparison time was found to increase when other irrelevant letters were present, regardless of whether or not the letters made up a word or a word-like configuration. Word comparison time was found to increase when distractors were similar to targets. (Author/RM)
