Abstract
The other day I read an article in Aphasiology by Lesser (1987). I was excited by her initial conceptualization of psycholinguistics as within the domain of experimental cognitive psychoIogy. I was nodding happily over her position that aphasia treatment shodd be planned by directing it to or around a stage in a model of language processing, There was a model for reading aIoud with its representations for visual and phonological Iexicons and an orthographic-to-phonoIogical conversion process. Also, ‘cognitive system’ was drawn as a puffy little cIoud outside of, but contributing to, the processes for reading aloud. In spite of Lesser's initial thoughts on psycholinguistics, ‘cognitive system’ was separated from a Language process.
