Abstract	Together with eye movement control, visual word recognition is the fundamental process underlying reading performance, but while the former is natural and basically innate, word recognition is highly artificial and usually takes years to learn. Neurocognitive psychologist use a variety of methods and models to investigate how humans (learn to) perform the multiple subprocesses underlying word recognition, for example, discriminating and recognizing the written equivalents of elementary speech sounds (phonemes), or automatically constructing the meaning(s) of a word. Modern neuroimaging research suggests that word recognition is a nonlinear dynamic, embodied process temporally distributed over several hundred milliseconds and neuroanatomically distributed across a range of cortical and subcortical networks, questioning the classical notion of a passive retrieval of word knowledge from a hypothetical mental lexicon. In a world full of illiterates and dyslexics, the biggest challenge for neurocognitive psychology is to provide the applied disciplines with the necessary and sufficient knowledge making it possible to design efficient and reliable methods for diagnosis, teaching, training, and rehabilitation of visual word recognition and reading.
