“…However, several arguments suggest that this possibility is not quite viable. First, the identification of single letters or letterlike stimuli might be affected little by planar orientation (Corballis & Nagourney, 1978;Corballis, Zbrodoff, Shetzer & Butler, 1978;Eley, 1982;Koriat & Norman, 1989;White, 1980; but see Jolicoeur & Landau, 1984;Jordan & Huntsman, 1995;McMullen & Jolicoeur, 1990). Were that indeed the case, it would be wasteful if the product of single letter identification was not used in the process of reading inverted texts.…”
