The relevance of reading prosody on comprehension has been theoretically proposed and empirically recognised. present study aimed to investigate longitudinal concurrent relationships between processes, beyond decoding word efficiency. Two cohorts Portuguese children, ranging different grade levels (grades 2 3 4 5), were tested. Reading was assessed through a rating scale, text context fluency effect used measure effortful effortless respectively. Results showed no bidirectional effects...
The number of computerized and reliable performance validity tests are scarce. This study aims to address this issue by validating a free test: the Coin in Hand–Extended Version (CIH-EV). CIH-EV test was administered four countries (Colombia, Spain, Portugal, United States) compared with other commonly used validated tests. Results showed that has at least 95% specificity 62% sensitivity, highly correlated scores on Test Memory Malingering, Victoria Symptom Validity Test, Digit Span Wechsler...
Orthographic knowledge is an important contributor to reading and spelling. However, empirical research unclear about its long-lasting influence along with literacy development. We examined whether spelling benefitted from independent contribution of lexical sublexical orthographic in European Portuguese, intermediate depth orthography. This was investigated longitudinally Grade 2 5 two cohorts Portuguese children, using common measures knowledge, word pseudoword tasks. Regression analyses...
The rising demographic of older adults worldwide has led to an increase in dementia cases. In order ensure the proper allocation care and resources this clinical group, it is necessary correctly distinguish between simulated versus bona-fide cognitive deficits typical dementia. Performance Validity Tests (PVTs) are specifically designed assess a lack effort possible simulation impairment. Previous research demonstrates that PVTs may be sensitive dementia, thus inaccurately classifying real...
Phonological processing skills, such as phonological awareness, are known predictors of reading acquisition in alphabetic languages with varying degrees orthographic complexity. However, the role multi-letter-sound knowledge, an important foundation for early development, supporting fluency development remains to be determined. This study examined whether two core foundational phonemic awareness and grapheme sounding, have a predictive intermediate-depth orthography. The participants were 62...
The current study aimed to validate the Performance Validity Test Coin in Hand-Extended Version (CIH-EV) groups of healthy older adults and with dementia.Using an analog simulation paradigm, control group clinical were instructed perform best their ability, whereas feigning simulate a memory deficit obtain allowance, financial aid, or early retirement.Results showed that performed more optimally than group, although had superior response times. CIH-EV was insensitive sociodemographic...

The aim of this study was to develop an instrument assess contextualized silent reading fluency in Portuguese university students.The test construction inspired on a U.S. Test Silent Contextual Reading Fluency.It includes two equivalent forms.Each them contains text printed uppercase without punctuation and spaces between words.Students had draw line as many individual words possible time limited condition.The administered small groups (5 10 participants) total 50 students.An appropriate...
