Figure 1.7 The Four-Part Processing Model for Word Recognition (Based on Seidenberg & McClelland, 1989)
Four Processors:
Three-Cueing System:
- Four processors in the left hemisphere of the brain perform specific interconnected tasks for word recognition
- The phonological and orthographic processors are not distinguished
- Phonology and phonics are minimized
- Skilled readers read words as a whole, not letter by letter

“I don’t recognize this word, but what would make sense? In the context of the sentence and what I know, it would make sense if this word were 'horse'.
Semantic Cues
"The word must be a noun, it couldn’t be a verb such as 'horsing'. Let's skip this word for now and keep reading to see if the next few sentences offer some clues to what it might be.'
