Dyslexia is a literacy disorder affecting the efficient acquisition of reading and writing skills. The neurobiological in origin. Due to its developmental nature, longitudinal studies dyslexia are essence. They are, however, relatively scarce. present study took approach cortical connectivity brain imaging data tasks children with typical development. participants were followed repeated measurements through Pre-literacy (6 years old), Emergent Literacy (8 old) (12 stages, using Dynamic...
Research on dyslexia has largely centred reading. The aim of this study was to assess the writing 13 children with and 28 without at age 11 years. A programme for keystroke logging used allow recording typing activity as performed a sentence dictation task. Five sentences were read aloud twice each. task type correctly possible, no time constraints. data analysed from product (spelling, grammar semantics) process (transcription fluency revisions) perspective, using repeated measures ANOVA...
The aim of this study was to find valid neurocognitive precursors literacy development in first language (L1, Norwegian) and second (L2, English) a group children during their Pre‐literacy, Emergent Literacy stages, by comparing with dyslexia typical group. Children who were 5 years old at project start followed until the age 11, when identified data could be analysed retrospect. children's pattern changed both stage domain. Visuo‐spatial recall RAN appeared as early L1 literacy, while...
In this study of third grade school children, we investigated the association between writing process measures recorded with key stroke logging and final written product. Moreover, examined cognitive predictors product measures. Analyses strokes showed that while most children spontaneously made local online revisions writing, few revised previously text. Children good reading spelling abilities more than their peers. Two factors, transcription fluency revision activity, contributed to...
ABSTRACT This study investigated reading and writing difficulties, as well attention deficit or hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among female prisoners in Belgium Norway. While learning difficulties ADHD are prevalent prison populations, research focusing on females is rather limited. A cross‐sectional survey design ( N = 101) was used to assess the prevalence of self‐reported literacy challenges symptoms ADHD, their comorbidity, by comparing The findings showed a positive correlation between...
Pragmatics refers to the ability effectively use and interpret language in different contexts. Pragmatic abilities develop refine through childhood, they are essential for socialization, academic achievement wellbeing. The scarcity of assessment tools this field makes it challenging provide a comprehensive pragmatic abilities. Pragma test, originally developed Finnish also adapted into Italian, consists battery tasks assessing children’s In study, first evaluation psychometric qualities...
Dichotic listening (DL) taps information on the brain's language laterality, processing, and attention. Research has shown that DL responses in dyslexia deviate from typical pattern. Here, effects of training its correspondence to rapid naming (RAN) digit span (DS) children with were assessed. Three groups third graders participated: two groups, control (CT) (DT), a group received no (control training, CnT). All took part testing pretraining posttraining. measures response scores, The three...
The concept of early 'efforts' has led to discussions for and against introducing language assessment all kindergarten children. Evidence-based screening tools completed by close caregivers could solve this controversy as the children themselves would only be indirectly involved. aim study was see whether scores such aiming at developmental dyslexia predict school marks literacy competence 10 years later, these reveal different trajectories. is part Bergen Longitudinal Dyslexia Study,...
The present paper assessed how dyslexia can be identified in school children with another language than their first language. Participants were Norwegian as second (L2), and two groups of (L1): a control group (L1-Con), (L1-Dys). All 2nd 3rd graders who had attended schools from 1st grade on. None the individuals L1-Con or L2 any learning disability. However, slow literacy progress was seen some L2-children. tested individually within symptomatic cognitive levels. Results analysed steps: (1)...
There are strong indications of an elevated incidence both language problems and with mental health among prisoners. We also know that women in prison a particularly vulnerable group who often face conditions foremost accommodate the needs men. In order to adapt women's give better help, we need more information about their characteristics. this study, wanted explore associations between oral (depression anxiety) prison.Participants were 58 women, recruited from high low security mixed...
Artiklen skitserer læsningens psykologi som felt, placerer det i en historisk kontekst og præsenterer et overblik over, hvordan der arbejdes med feltet Danmark Norge lige nu – fokus på teorier om læsning, læseprocesser indsats forhold til læsevanskeligheder. Forfatterne beskriver også emergentliteracy vigtigheden af pædagogisk praksis, hvor småbørns første møde skriftsproget er forankret nært socialt samspil. Formålet at bidrage fortsat faglig dialog inden for forsknings- praksisfeltet...
Artikkelen gir en bred teoretisk gjennomgang av fenomenet dysleksi, sett fra symptomnivå, kognitivt nivå, biologisk nivå og miljønivå ut et multifaktorielt perspektiv. Videre diskuterer den hvordan lese- skriveprosessen kan sees som sammensatt flere kognitive delprosesser, slik forståelse bidra til å forklare at barn voksne med dysleksi viser ulike vanskeprofiler. fremhever også viktigheten alltid ta utviklingsaspektet i betraktning, om det er på eller mer praktisk-pedagogisk sammenheng ved...
