The Science of Word Recognition | |
|
||
| Time: 17:53 EST/22:53 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Evidence from the last 20 years of work in cognitive psychology indicates that we use the letters within a word to recognize a word. Many typographers and other text enthusiasts Ive met insist that words are recognized by the outline made around the word shape. Some have used the term bouma as a synonym for word shape, though I was unfamiliar with the term. The term bouma appears in Paul Saengers 1997 book Space Between Words: The Origins of Silent Reading. There I learned to my chagrin that we recognize words from their word shape and that Modern psychologists call this image the Bouma shape. | ||
