Question: 1 / 400

Which type of words are associated with automatic word recognition (automaticity)?

Content Words

Function Words

Polysyllabic Words

Sight Words

Automatic word recognition, or automaticity, refers to the ability to recognize words quickly and accurately without conscious effort. Sight words are words that are recognized immediately by sight, without the need for decoding. These words are often high-frequency words that appear often in text and are crucial for fluent reading. Therefore, sight words are associated with automatic word recognition.

Content words and function words are both types of vocabulary words, but neither are specifically associated with automatic word recognition. Polysyllabic words refer to words with multiple syllables, which can pose a challenge for beginning readers and are not typically recognized automatically.
