Card 197 of 470


word superiority effect
Finding that individual sounds or letters are recognised more rapidly and reliably when they occur in words than when they are either in nonwords (legitimate sequences of letters that happen not to make a word) or in jumbled letter strings.

Example:
e.g. D is recognised better in WORD than in either WROD or WLOD.
