Introduction
109
110
Successful visual word recognition involves the synchronized interplay of multiple sensorymotor, attentional and memory networks. Classical neurological models and current neuroimaging
results suggest a set of left hemispheric regions comprising the inferior temporal, inferior frontal,
supramarginal, and angular gyri to be strongly involved in this process (Geschwind, 1965;

Imaging Results
Effect of Lexicality
The whole-brain analysis showed eects of lexicality and
neighborhood density as well as interactions between both
factors. The lexicality eect was evident at bilateral occipital poles,
the inferior parietal and middle temporal gyrus (Figures 1A,D;
Table 2) with higher activity for words compared to nonwords.
Furthermore, higher activity for nonwords compared to words
was obtained in the precentral gyrus and opercular cortex (see
Figures 1A,E; Table 2).
The separately performed 2 2 repeated measures ANOVAs
for these regions with either higher activity for words compared
to nonwords or vice versa with the beta estimates of the peak
values with lexicality (words, nonwords) and neighborhood
density (high, low) as within-subject factors showed main eects
of lexicality in left AG/MTG: F(1,19) = 23.44, p < 0.001 and left
precentral/opercular cortex: F(1,19) = 14.26, p = 0.001 and also
a main eect of neighborhood density in the opercular cortex
F(1,19) = 13.28, p = 0.002, and no interaction.

inconclusive providing less support for a direct model-tobrain-data connection. Only two ERP studies reported results
compatible with the idea of global lexical activity supporting
lexical decisions. The rst study found stronger N400s in
lexical and semantic decisions for stimuli with many neighbors
and interpreted this activity as reecting the sum of semantic
activation of the target word and its neighbors (Holcomb
et al., 2002). The second study found a parametric brainelectrical eect around 500 ms after stimulus presentation for
nonwords diering in model-generated global lexical activity
values that was interpreted to reect the temporal deadline
mechanism working dierentially on nonwords with varying
levels of orthographic similarity to the input (Braun et al., 2006).
In contrast neuroimaging research rather showed contradicting
evidence. One neuroimaging study showed a reversed eect of
neighborhood density (i.e., higher activity for stimuli with a
low number of neighbors) in language related areas such as the
middle temporal and angular gyri suggested to reect semantic
processing (Binder et al., 2003). The other study found prefrontal
activity in response to stimuli diering in number of neighbors
which was interpreted as reecting executive domain general
processes related to post-lexical rather than lexical processing
(Fiebach et al., 2007).

Mean. The whole-brain analysis was thresholded at p < 0.001, voxel level
uncorrected and a cluster extent of 25. The displayed statistical differences
are based on a 2 2 repeated measures ANOVA with Lexicality and
Neighborhood density as within-subject factors for the respective ROI.
Differences between levels of conditions show the results of paired t-tests
