In the model outlined below, the Interactive Activation model, the behaviour is reproduced with nodes representing words and activation passing between them, which ultimately speeds processing.
Having established that a computational model does produce similar results to observed data, the next step is usually to identify corresponding neural mechanisms which actually implement the behaviour, e. There is some debate as to the worth of computational models which are not grounded in the hard evidence of neurophysiology, since they are fundamentally just hypothetical reverse-engineered models.
The theoretical stages involved in reading aloud were defined as follows:. Obviously this would be more complicated and would require further semantic analysis in order to read a sentence with the proper intonation. In order to make any computational model intended to be based on the brain as realistic and close as possible, connectionist models like the Interactive Activation model are neuronally-inspired.
Neurons function by integrating information, through myriad excitatory and inhibitory connections of varying weights. More sophisticated and developed versions of the interactive activationist model exist, but they are based on the same system of activation flowing from one level to another or within a level.
In this model, letter-level and word-level information are different. This particular model took all the four-letter words in the English language with a frequency greater than 2 per million just over a thousand as its domain. Though an obvious simplification, the model is sufficiently realistic in scope to be convincing when it works. The last step in the explanation of the model is the mutual inhibition suppressing alternatives.
The system operates by constraint satisfaction, whereby the node which has most things consistent with it in the form of excitatory inputs is the most active. Thus the decisions are the best bet about the input given all available sources of information. Fast phonology and the Bimodal Interactive Activation Model. Many computational models of visual word recognition and reading postulate a central role for phonology.

When the text file contains resting-level activations use ". Words can either have all the same length or they can have different lengths. Bottom-up letter-to-word excitation and inhibition parameters should be changed when words are longer or shorter than 4 letters, see for example, Grainger and Jacobs and Loncke et al.
