The relationship between the recognizability of quantized letters and the forward and backward masking by noise, and some structural characteristics of letters determining their recognizability or confusability were assessed by obtaining 4500 recognition responses from each of 3 Ss under 5 different noise levels (.06-.75) for the masking stimuli at 9 different stimulus-onset-asynchronies (-250-+200 msec). U-shaped functions of correct identification of letters were obtained both for noise level and for stimulus-onset-asynchrony. However, these functions were not symmetrical: the lower noise levels produced stronger decrements in letter recognizability than the higher noise level and the forward masking was stronger than the backward masking. One of the determinants of letter recognizability was considered to be the number of cells consisting the quantized letters as well as the distinctiveness or similarity in structural components of letters
