AB The neural/mental operations involved in the process of visual word recognition (VWR) arefundamental for the efficient comprehension of written/printed words during reading. The presentstudy used CiteSpace, a visual analysis software, to identify the intellectual landscape where VWRhas been reviewed in the past decade. Thus, synthesized co-citation networks were analyzed toexplore and discuss the main questions raised in the VWR literature: the research fronts and theemerging trends of research on this topic. Our results showed that the main questions addressedin VWR studies during the last decade have been focused on four main aspects related to “what,”“where,” “when,” and “how” of VWR; to be specific, the different types of representationsassessed during VWR (“what”), the locations and the timing of the brain activity involved in VWR(“where” and “when”), and the interactivity among different representations during processing(“how”). Among the revised studies, letter position coding was found to be the main topic ofinterest, possibly reflecting the critical role of this process. Furthermore, the evidence found inthese studies consistently supported that VWR implies access to phonological, semantic, and morphological representations, which interact and modulate the processing of written words,particularly during early stages. Altogether, our findings showed the evolution in VWR literatureregarding the different cognitive and neural operations involved in this process, highlighting thegrowing interest over the last decade toward the top-down way that mental representationsinteract.
