Abstract:
Visual words and faces differ in their structural properties, but both are objects of high expertise. The research reviews the evidence for experimental effects in word recognition that parallel those used to support holistic face processing, namely inversion effects, the part-whole task, and composite effects, as well as the status of whole-word processing in pure alexia and developmental dyslexia, contrasts between familiar and unfamiliar languages, and the differences between handwriting and typeset font. The observations support some parallels in whole-object influences between face and visual word recognition, but do not necessarily imply similar expert mechanisms.
Keywords:
alexia; composite effect; Lexical; object recognition; part-whole advantage
