Abstract
Classical and contemporary studies of the word superiority effect on under varions conditions (in the Reicher - Wheeler paradigm, metacontrast masking, lateral masking, rapid serial visual presentation, visual search, etc.) are considered. Possible explanations of the effect are analyzed and their limitations are revealed. New data requiring theoretical understanding are described.
Keywords
the word superiority effect, visual perception, perceptual attention, masking, models of words recognition.
