Abstract
Models of spoken word recognition assume that words are represented as sequences of phonemes. We evaluated this assumption by examining
phonemic anadromes
, words that share the same phonemes but differ in their order (e.g.,
sub
and
bus
). Using the visual world paradigm, we found that listeners show more fixations to anadromes (e.g.,
sub
when
bus
is the target) than to unrelated words (
well)
and to words that share the same vowel but not the same set of phonemes (
sun
). This contrasts with predictions of existing models and suggests that words are not defined as a strict sequence of phonemes.
