    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Word recognition in Hebrew readers is holistic at slight angles but shifts to letter-by-letter processing with increased disorientation, impacting reading speed and strategy.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Psycholinguistics
    • Reading Science

    Background:

    • Understanding how visual orientation affects word recognition is crucial for reading research.
    • Previous studies suggest orientation can impact visual processing, but specific mechanisms remain debated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of letter string orientation on lexical decision-making in Hebrew readers.
    • To determine how varying degrees of visual disorientation influence word recognition processes.

    Main Methods:

    • Hebrew-speaking students performed lexical decisions on Hebrew letter strings presented at various orientations.
    • Response times were recorded and analyzed for interactions between string length and orientation angle.

    Main Results:

    • At <60° disorientation, word recognition was fast and unaffected by length, suggesting holistic processing.
    • Between 60°-120°, recognition slowed and became length-dependent, indicating piecemeal processing and disruption of transgraphemic information.
    • At >120° disorientation, reading reverted to letter-by-letter processing, with significant length effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Word recognition strategy dynamically shifts from holistic to piecemeal and letter-by-letter based on visual orientation.
    • Disorientation primarily disrupts higher-level word processing (transgraphemic information) before affecting basic letter identification.
