Abstract
The present study, employing a backward visual masking paradigm and a computer-based CRT display system, examines the word-recognition performance for 220 four-, five-, and six-letter words, with a sample of 50 subjects. Results, as found previously, continue to demonstrate very large individual variabilities in such information processing tasks.
