A "gage" is a challenge, and hence an entry into battle, though the word is more commonly embedded in the word "engage".

Transposed letter effect a defining feature of word processing, so the transposed-letter effect is consistent with this model. In the SOLAR model (self-organizing lexical acquisition and recognition) described by Davis (1999) each letter is associated with its own level of activation. The first letter in the word has the highest level of activation and so on until the last word has the lowest level of activation. In this model, position does describe the level of activation for that particular letter but because the activation is successive, two letters beside each other would have a similar activation level. The SOLAR model is consistent with
