Context and the Allocation of Resources in Word Recognition.

Larochelle, Serge; And Others

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, v6n4 p686-94 Nov 1980

The effect of context on the resources consumed in word recognition is restricted to aspects of processing that can be delayed until the subject is required to select an overt response. (Author/RD)
