Perhaps this means that people do recognize 2 words simultaneously after all, because if they didn't how would they know they form a compound?

In Greece, 6 pm is afternoon coffee time, not dinner. But anyway if you're invited to someone's house at 6 for anything, it would be very impolite to show up before 6:30, as nothing would be ready and the host would probably not even be dressed yet. Some time between 6:30 and 7:00 would be normal.

In Norway, in my experience when you're invited at six you're expected to ring the bell within a few minutes of 6:00, but I guess you're sort of OK within 10 minutes or so. People text to say sorry they're late even if it's 10 minutes late.

When naming visual sequences, efficiency calls for parallel processing of successive items but this leads to interference that threatens performance. To manage the load, constant monitoring allows dynamic adjustment of parallelism, seen in eye-voice span and articulation.

In two experiments we used a flanked masked (75 ms) visual word version of the visual world paradigm with five flanking conditions: none, repeated symbols, unknown font strings, pseudowords, and words. Flankers interfered with activation of the target word, more so for frequent words.

Skilled readers use information from upcoming words to boost efficiency, but at what cost? We discovered that nearby words interfere with lexical activation of the fixated word, calling for a more nuanced approach to the role of preview in fluent reading. dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jm...

LQ is not only about the detailed content. It also requires strong and redundant connections among the three domains.
As for improving them, I would say that reading is the established way.
