Abstract:
It
has often been argued that various facts about skilled reading aloud
cannot be explained by any model unless that model possesses a
dual-route architecture (lexical and nonlexical routes from print to
speech). This broad claim has been challenged by Seidenberg and
McClelland (1989, 1990). Their model has but a single route from print
to speech, yet, they contend, it can account for major facts about
reading that have hitherto been claimed to require a dual-route
architecture. The authors identify 6 of these major facts about
reading. The I-route model proposed by Seidenberg and McClelland can
account for the first of these but not the remaining 5. Because models
with dual route architectures can explain a1l 6 of these basic facts
about reading, the authors suggest that this remains the viable
architecture for any tenable model of skilled reading and learning to
read. The dual-route cascaded model, a computational version of the
dual-route model, is described.
