Morphology in the Mental Lexicon: A Computational Model for Visual Word Recognition

This chapter outlines a model for morphological processing in the mental lexicon for visual word recognition. The model is designed to reflect a number of basic functional properties of the human processing system, such as sensitivity to frequency of occurrence, the temporal nature of human lexical processing, and the fact that during word recognition various partially matching lexical candidates become activated and co-influence the time required for word recognition.
