Although the role of IQ in developmental dyslexia remains ambiguous, dominant clinical and research approaches rely on a definition that requires reading skill to be significantly below level expected given an individual’s IQ. In study reported here, we used functional MRI (fMRI) examine whether differences brain activation during phonological processing are characteristic were similar or dissimilar children with poor ability who had high scores (discrepant readers) low (nondiscrepant...

Primary objectives: Children with a history of cancer are at increased risk for cognitive impairments, particularly in executive and memory domains. Traditional, in-person rehabilitation strategies may be unavailable and/or impractical many these children given difficulties related to resources health status. The feasibility efficacy implementing computerized, home-based curriculum designed improve function skills was examined children.

Cancer and its treatments are associated with increased risk for cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). Methods measures used to study assess self-reported CRCI (sr-CRCI), however, remain diverse, resulting in heterogeneity across studies. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Working Group has been formed promote homogeneity the methods sr-CRCI. In this report, using a psychometric taxonomy, we inventory appraise instruments research measure sr-CRCI, consider advances patient-reported outcome...
