I think Hofstadter's exploration of jumbles ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumble ) covers this ground. You don't just recognize the word, you work on trying to connect it to what you know, and if set of letters didn't correspond to any word, you give up.
There's still more to word recognition though than this. How do we decide what is and isn't, may or may not be a word? A neologism? What may or may not be words from:
cogrough dirksilt thangthing artcop coggourd cowstock or "fomlepaung" or whatever? ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=108809214-a0d121 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
