Competitive Cueing Model

Question 0

How does the competitive cueing model work?

Answer 0

1) word identity: holds identity of to be spelled word and constituent letters

2) serial position mechanism: places activation gradient across letters
Initial letters start with high activation which fades over time
End letters start with low activation which increases over time

3) letter output nodes: individual letters
Activated by combination of information from letter identity and serial position levels

4) competitive filter:
Identifies letter nodes with greatest activation and selects for output processing
Inhibits selected node to prevent reselection
