In this personal, and therefore highly selective, review article I summarize work performed in collaboration with numerous colleagues on how skilled adult readers perform identification tasks and speeded binary decision tasks involving single letters and visually presented words and sentences. The overarching aim is to highlight similarities in the processing performed at three key levels involved in written language comprehension (in languages that use an alphabetic script): letters, words, and sentences. The comparisons are made using behavioral data obtained with: i) speeded (response-limited) binary decision tasks; and ii) the effects of simultaneous surrounding context on letter and word identification using both data-limited (non-speeded) and response-limited procedures. I then propose a general framework that combines the three levels of processing, and that connects core processes at each level with the processing involved in tasks designed to reflect those core processes, and I end by suggesting possible avenues for future research with an aim to extend this general framework.
在这篇个人化且因此具有高度选择性的综述文章中，我总结了与众多同事合作开展的研究工作，内容涉及熟练的成年读者如何执行识别任务以及涉及单个字母、视觉呈现的单词和句子的快速二元决策任务。总体目标是突出在书面语言理解（使用字母文字的语言）所涉及的三个关键层面上进行的处理过程中的相似之处：字母、单词和句子。比较是使用通过以下方式获得的行为数据进行的：i）快速（反应受限）二元决策任务；ii）使用数据受限（非快速）和反应受限程序，同时呈现的周边语境对字母和单词识别的影响。然后，我提出了一个综合这三个处理层面的通用框架，该框架将每个层面的核心过程与旨在反映这些核心过程的任务所涉及的处理过程联系起来，最后我提出了未来研究的可能途径，旨在扩展这个通用框架。
