What phonetic decision making does not tell us about lexical architecture
William D. Marslen‐Wilson · Behavioral and Brain Sciences · 2000
Norris et al. argue against using evidence from phonetic decision making to support top-down feedback in lexical access on the grounds that phonetic decision relies on processes outside the normal access sequence. This leaves open the possibility that bottom-up connectionist models, with some contextual constraints built into the access process, are still preferred models of spoken-word recognition.
