Visual Word Recognition Volume 1

James S. Adelman first became involved in visual word recognition research whilst reading for a degree in Mathematics and Psychology at the University of Liverpool. From there, he went on to complete a PhD and various externally funded research projects at the University of Warwick, where he has been an Assistant Professor since 2010.

"Reading is a uniquely human activity that has fascinated cognitive psychologists. The chapters in this book illustrate the evolving theoretical and methodological developments, written by the leading researchers in the field. The book provides food for thought, and will no doubt stimulate more research in this exciting area." - Sachiko Kinoshita, Associate Professor of Psychology, Macquarie University, Australia"Both volumes of Visual Word Recognition will serve as a crucial, up-to-date theoretical and experimental aid for young and experienced scientists in the field of reading research." - Nicola Pitchford, Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Nottingham, UK
