McClelland and Rumelhart's model of word recognition suggests detectors on separate levels can interact in a bidirectional manner. Biological evidence supports this notion because visual processing is bidirectional .

Step-by-step explanation:

The word superiority effect (WSE) supported by McClelland and Rumelhart's model of word recognition, in cognitive psychology relates to the observation that individuals have greater knowledge of letters displayed in words as opposed to independent letters and letters shown in nonword strings.

As per this method, each letter in parallel can either activate or inhibit specific feature sensors, for an instance a curved type for "C," horizontal and vertical bars for "H," etc. whenever a reader is faced with a term. Those element sensors would then trigger or inhibit various letter detectors, eventually stimulating or inhibiting specific word detectors.
