According to script-based accounts of text processing (e.g. Walker & Yekovich, 1987), activation ofa script during reading can facilitate lowerlevel processes, such as lexical access, in a top-down fashion. A competing perspective, known as modularity theory (Fodor, 1983), suggests that low-level processes, such as lexical access, can become informationally encapsulated and thus are not influenced by script activation. In two experiments, passages were read off of a computer screen. For each of four passages six words were identified as either central or peripheral to the script. Versions of each passage were constructed in which these same six words were not related to the script. Thus, these words appeared in both scripted and nonscripted versions of each story. The efficiency of lexical access was measured in two ways : by either word reading time or naming latency. The data, collected within subjects, provide little evidence of script-related facilitation of lexical access, thus supporting modularity theory.
