Morton's
(1981) 21-Box Model: Here is
Morton's (1981) expansion of the earlier processing models. It is a
distillation of models going back to the early 1960s, including those by
Morton himself (1964 - click here,
1979 - click here),
Marshall and Newcombe (1966, 1973 - click here),
and Morton and Patterson (1980). It was deliberately left uncaptioned in the
original because it was intended to convey a general layout and level of
complexity rather than to make specific points. Nevertheless, a central
cluster of processes (feint grey), parallel input and output pathways, and
several bypass and feedback routes can all clearly be seen, all of which are
met again in later supermodels, such as those by Ellis and Young (1988) and Kay, Lesser, and Coltheart (1992). If this diagram fails to load
