Abstract
Since the early seventies, when Taft and Forster (1975) started their research, the question has been raised how morphologically complex words are recognized by skilled and beginning readers. Several morphological word processing models have been proposed. Broadly speaking, three frameworks can be distinguished: the Prelexical Morphological Decomposition model (Taft & Forster, 1975), the full-listing model (Butterworth, 1983; Henderson, 1985), and the interactive models (AAM model (Caramazza, Laudanna & Romani, 1988), and the Interactive Activation model (Taft, 1994)).
