Observers cannot accurately discriminate the top halves of two sequentially presented three-letter words. One interpretation of this effect is that words, like faces, are processed holistically. Here we show, in three simple experiments, that this phenomenon is more consistent with the hypothesis that letters, not words, are processed holistically.
观察者无法准确区分两个相继呈现的三个字母的单词的上半部分。对这种效应的一种解释是，单词和面孔一样，是整体加工的。在此，我们通过三个简单实验表明，这一现象更符合字母而非单词是整体加工的假说。
