40 Years of Cracking the Orthographic Code: A Special Issue in Honour of Jonathan Grainger’s Career
JoC is pleased to announce our latest special collection, guest edited by Joshua Snell, Sebastiaan Mathôt and Mathieu Declerck, is now complete and available to read.
Anyone recounting the history of cognitive psychology will have to make early mention of the study of orthographic processing (starting with the seminal work of Cattell in 1886); and anyone recounting the study of orthographic processing will have to make mention of Jonathan Grainger. An honorary member and former president of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology, Jonathan has dedicated nearly four decades of research to the mechanisms driving the recognition of letters, words and sentences during reading. In honour of Jonathan’s career—which has come to a close in 2023—several contemporaries and close collaborators highlight important advances that have been made in the past 40 years, and provide flavours of where the field stands Today.
