Abstract

Book Reviews analysis of the reading process, such as was being attempted at this conference, prove useful [pp. 156-157]." We assume that Part III, "Problems Peculiar to Learning to Read," will be of particular interest to students of reading. Shankweiler and Liberman utilize the analysis of oral reading errors to answer some interesting questions typically not asked in this kind of research. The most controversial contribu­ tion to the entire volume is Philip Gough's paper titled "One Second of Reading." Challenging current psycholinguistic descriptions of reading as essentially a guessing game or hypothesis-confirmation exercise in which the linguistic information is far more important than visual input, Gough attempts to show, millisecond by millisecond, how the reader can read with acceptable speed but still process letter after letter. As Gough concludes: "In the model I have outlined, the Reader is not a guesser. From the outside, he appears to go from print to meaning as if by magic. But I have contended that this is an illusion, that he really plods through the sentence, letter by letter, word by word. He may not do so; bu t to show that he does not, his trick will have to be exposed
