It is assumed by the OB1-reader model that activated words are flexibly associated with
spatial locations. Supporting this notion, recent studies show that readers can confuse the …

On relative word length and transposed-word effects.

Y Wen, J Mirault, J Grainger - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2024‏ - psycnet.apa.org
It is harder to decide that a sequence of words is ungrammatical when the ungrammaticality
is created by transposing two words in a correct sentence (eg, he wants green these …

The transposed word effect is consistent with serial word recognition and varies with reading speed

J Hossain, AL White - Cognition, 2023‏ - Elsevier
The scientific study of reading has long been animated by questions of parallel vs. serial
processing. Do readers recognize words serially, adding each one sequentially to a …

Transposed-word effects in speeded grammatical decisions to sequences of spoken words

S Dufour, J Mirault, J Grainger - Scientific Reports, 2022‏ - nature.com
We used the grammatical decision task (a speeded version of the grammaticality judgment
task) with auditorily presented sequences of five words that could either form a …

Do love you me? Failure to notice word transpositions is induced by parallel word processing

J Snell, AN Melo - Journal of Cognition, 2024‏ - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Recent research has shown that readers may to fail notice word transpositions during
reading (eg, the transposition of “fail” and “to” in this sentence). Although this transposed …

The transposed-word effect provides no unequivocal evidence for parallel processing

Studies using a grammaticality decision task have revealed surprising flexibility in the
processing of word order during sentence reading in both alphabetic and non-alphabetic …

Flexible word position coding in reading: Roles for attention and memory

J Snell - Memory & Cognition, 2024‏ - Springer
Readers may fail to notice the error in'Do love you me?': this is the recently established
transposed-word (TW) phenomenon. Word position coding is a novel cognitive construct …

Transposing two words in a sentence (eg “cat” and “was” in “the white cat was big”) creates
a sequence that is harder to classify as ungrammatical than control sequences (eg “the …

A stringent test of visuospatial position uncertainty accounts of letter position coding

I Romero-Ortells, A Baciero, A Marcet… - Language, Cognition …, 2024‏ - Taylor & Francis
The encoding of letter position appears to be relatively flexible. Transposed-letter
