Which component is NOT part of the "Four Part Processor" model of reading?

The "Four Part Processor" model of reading comprises the context processor, orthographic processor, phonological processor, and morphological processor. Each of these components plays a distinct role in the reading process.

The context processor allows readers to make sense of the text based on their background knowledge and the situational context in which they read. The orthographic processor is responsible for recognizing written symbols and connecting them to sounds, while the phonological processor deals with the sounds of the language, helping in decoding and blending sounds to form words. The morphological processor, which can sometimes be overlooked, focuses on the structure of words and their meaningful parts.

Since the memory processor is not included in this specific model, it indicates that this function, while important for overall cognitive processes, is not considered a separate or distinct component of the reading processing system as defined in the Four Part Processor model. This model emphasizes the interaction among the relevant processing components needed for reading rather than memory itself, which falls under broader cognitive functions not specific to reading mechanics.
