A review of the literature shows that our knowledge concerning effects chronic aircraft noise exposure on children is still limited and does not allow well-founded predictions for living in specific noise-exposed areas. In this study, we investigated cognition quality life 1,243 second graders from 29 schools around Frankfurt/Main Airport Germany. Although levels at were below 60 dB thus considerably lower than previous studies, multilevel analyses revealed increasing was linearly associated...

Background: Little research has been carried out on the effects of involving patients in goal setting. The purpose this study was to investigate active patient involvement establishment physical therapy treatment goals. Outcome measures included both results and ratings quality care. Subjects Methods: All (n=77) at rehabilitation unit department rheumatology a Swedish university hospital were randomized controlled trial. Control-group received according traditional methods....

Abstract Developmental dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by an unexpected impairment in literacy acquisition leading to specific poor academic achievement and possible secondary symptoms. The multi-level framework of developmental considers five levels causal pathway on which given genotype expressed hierarchically transmitted from one level the next under increasing influence individual learning-relevant traits environmental factors moderated cultural conditions. These...

The human brain extracts statistical regularities from the surrounding environment in a process called learning. Behavioural evidence suggests that developmental dyslexia affects However, surprisingly few studies have assessed how neural processing underlying this type of We used electroencephalography to explore correlates an important aspect learning - sensitivity transitional probabilities individuals with dyslexia. Adults diagnosed (n = 17) and controls 19) were exposed continuous stream...

Defizite in der phonologischen Informationsverarbeitung werden heute als Kernsymptom Lese-Rechtschreibstörung betrachtet. In Trainingsstudien mit betroffenen Kindern erwiesen sich Phonemwahrnehmungsfähigkeiten trainierbar, und Programme, denen Aufgaben zur Bewusstheit systematischen Vermittlung von Phonem-Graphem-Zuordnungen kombiniert wurden, zeigten Transfereffekte auf Lese- Rechtschreibleistungen. Ausgehend diesen Erkenntnissen wurde ein computerbasiertes Trainingsprogramm Förderung...

This study investigated first (L1) and second (L2) language acquisition in two age‐matched groups of 2‐ to 6‐year‐old kindergarten children over the course 2.5 years. The immersion group participated a partial English program whereas conventional instruction received L2 (30 minutes per week); were comparable with respect control variables (e.g., socioeconomic status). L1 competencies assessed at four time points (pretest three posttests). No detrimental effects on development found....

Abstract As a consequence of globalization and migration, the number children receiving literacy instruction in their second language (L2) is high still increasing. Therefore, teachers need methods that are effective both L1 L2 learners. Here, we investigate effectiveness computerized training program combining phoneme perception, phonological awareness, systematic phonics, sample second-graders ( N = 26) instructed German as L2. Based on prior evidence concerning (1) acquisition (2) effects...

Studies on the influence of traffic noise children's health are usually very comprehensive and collect data a large number measured variables in comparatively samples. In NORAH Study, for example, almost 700 have been considered including more than 100 related to noise. With theory-based approach, statistical evaluation that focused limited be included regression models as predictors, mediators, moderators, or confounders. contrast, machine learning (ML) methods able consider complete scope...

Summary Effects of the Computer-Based Grapho-Phonological Training Lautarium in Children with Developmental Dyslexia The effects computer-based training program on phonological awareness and literacy skills were investigated 41 third-grade children developmental dyslexia who attended special classes a primary school Saxony, Germany. Based proven efficacy phonics-based instruction, combines phoneme perception grapheme-phoneme-relationships reading spelling transparent words. In addition,...

Abstract The human brain extracts statistical regularities from the surrounding environment in a process referred to as learning. Recent behavioural evidence suggests that developmental dyslexia affects However, surprisingly few neurophysiological studies have assessed how neural processing underlying In this study, we used electroencephalography explore correlates of an important aspect learning – sensitivity transitional probabilities individuals with dyslexia. Adults diagnosed (n = 17)...

Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: In Deutschland zeigen etwa 18 Prozent aller Grundschulkinder Defizite im Schriftspracherwerb. Ein möglichst früher Förderbeginn kann negativen Folgen für den Bildungsverlauf und die psychische Gesundheit der Kinder entgegenwirken. Mit Lautarium steht ein computerbasiertes, schriftsprachliches Förderprogramm zur Verfügung, das Training Phonemwahrnehmung, phonologischen Bewusstheit Graphem-Phonem-Zuordnung mit einem schriftsprachlichen kombiniert. Die Wirksamkeit...

Abstract Developmental dyslexia is recognized worldwide. However, there are cultural differences between countries in dyslexia-related issues, including assessment practices and intervention. Language orthography essential factors that influence both literacy acquisition the possible manifestation of developmental dyslexia. These orthographies impose different culturally specific demands on cognitive processes involved reading performance. This special issue focuses current research writing...
