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.
