Furthermore, when compared with printed words, lexical effects (e.g., word-frequency effect) are magnified for less intelligible (difficult) handwriting (Barnhart and Goldinger, 2010; Perea et al., 2016). This boost has been interpreted in terms of greater influence of top-down mechanisms during visual word recognition. In the present experiment, we registered the participants’ ERPs to uncover top-down processing effects on early perceptual encoding. Participants’ behavioral and EEG responses were recorded to high- and low-frequency words that varied in script’s legibility (printed, easy handwritten, difficult handwritten) in a lexical decision experiment. Behavioral results replicated previous findings: word-frequency effects were larger in difficult handwriting than in easy handwritten or printed conditions. Critically, the ERP data showed an early effect of word-frequency in the N170 that was restricted to the difficult-to-read handwritten condition. These results are interpreted in terms of increased attentional deployment when the bottom-up signal is weak (difficult handwritten stimuli). This attentional boost would enhance top-down effects (e.g., lexical effects) in the early stages of visual word processingThe research reported in this article has been partially funded by: Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Grant PSI2017-86210-P); Basque Government through the BERC 2018–2021 program; Agencia Estatal de Investigación through BCBL Severo Ochoa excellence award SEV-2015-0490; and through project RTI2018-093547-B-I00.Neuropsychologia202120212021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/52179reponame:Addi.
