Alphabetic orthographies differ in the transparency of their letter-sound mappings, with English orthography being less transparent than other alphabetic scripts. The outlier status has led scientists to question generality findings based on English-language studies. We investigated role phonological awareness, memory, vocabulary, rapid naming, and nonverbal intelligence reading performance across five languages lying at differing positions along a continuum (Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch,...
Background: The relationship between phoneme awareness, rapid automatized naming (RAN), verbal short‐term/working memory (ST/WM) and diagnostic category is investigated in control dyslexic children, the extent to which this depends on orthographic complexity. Methods: General cognitive, phonological literacy skills were tested 1,138 1,114 children speaking six different languages spanning a large range of complexity (Finnish, Hungarian, German, Dutch, French, English). Results: Phoneme...
Although the transparency of a writing system is hypothesized to systematically influence cognitive skills associated with reading development results cross language investigations are inconsistent and usually do not address this issue in developmental context We therefore investigated dynamics fluency different word types Grades 1-4 three orthographies differing degree (Hungarian Dutch Portuguese) The overall showed that relative strength contributions phonological awareness rapid naming...
Video games are more popular than ever and the general public, including parents, educators, media, tends to consider intense video gaming fundamentally problematic. To test this hypothesis, participants were recruited via gaming-related websites resulting in a sample of N = 5,222 online gamers (mean age: 22.2 years, SD 6.4). Besides assessing time, we administered Ten-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test, Brief Symptom Inventory, Motives for Online Questionnaire. Two structural regression...
Abstract Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a learning disorder affecting the ability to read, with heritability of 40–60%. A notable part this remains unexplained, and large genetic studies are warranted identify new susceptibility genes clarify bases dyslexia. We carried out genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 2274 cases 6272 controls, testing associations at single variant, gene, pathway level, estimating using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. also calculated polygenic scores...
Abstract Developmental dyslexia (DD) is one of the most prevalent learning disorders, with high impact on school and psychosocial development comorbidity conditions like attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety. DD characterized by deficits in different cognitive skills, including word reading, spelling, rapid naming, phonology. To investigate genetic basis DD, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) these skills within largest studies available, nine...
In our surrounding acoustic world sounds are produced by different sources and interfere with each other before arriving to the ears. A key function of auditory system is provide consistent robust descriptions coherent sound groupings sequences (auditory objects), which likely correspond various in environment. This has been termed stream segregation. current study we tested effects separation frequency amplitude modulation on segregation concurrent stream–segregation paradigm (van Noorden...
Neuroscience findings have recently received critique on the lack of replications. To examine reproducibility brain indices speech sound discrimination and their role in dyslexia, a specific reading difficulty, event-related potentials using EEG were measured same cross-linguistic passive oddball paradigm about 200 dyslexics typically 8-12-year-old children from four countries with different native languages. Brain responses indexing non-speech extremely reproducible, supporting validity...
Multi-stability refers to the phenomenon of perception stochastically switching between possible interpretations an unchanging stimulus. Despite considerable variability, individuals show stable idiosyncratic patterns alternative perceptions in auditory streaming paradigm. We explored correlates individual with executive functions, personality traits, and creativity. The main dimensions on which differed from each other were identified using multidimensional scaling. Individuals high scores...
The N1 effect is an electrophysiological marker of visual specialization for print. phonological mapping hypothesis (Maurer & McCandliss, 2007) posits that the left‐lateralized reflects grapheme‐phoneme integration. In this event‐related potential study, first (age = 7.06 years, N 32) and third‐grade readers 9.29 28) were presented with pairs pseudowords Armenian character strings in a novel implicit same‐different paradigm. To test hypothesis, stimuli visual‐only audiovisual conditions....
Abstract The present experiments focused on how orthographic processing develops during reading acquisition. Specifically, a large, cross‐sectional sample of children from grade 2 to 4 was exposed pairs words, pseudowords, digit strings, and pseudo‐letter (Armenian) strings while their sensitivity transpositions (T) substitutions (S) internal characters investigated in perceptual matching task. results showed that the development identity position decoding diverged between four stimulus...
Abstract Developmental dyslexia (DD) is one of the most prevalent learning disorders among children and characterized by deficits in different cognitive skills, including reading, spelling, short term memory others. To help unravel genetic basis these we conducted a Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS), nine cohorts reading-impaired typically developing European ancestry, recruited across countries (N=2,562-3,468). We observed genome-wide significant effect (p<1×10 −8 ) on rapid...
Automatic visual word recognition requires not only well-established phonological and orthographic representations but also efficient audio-visual integration of these representations. One possibility is that in developmental dyslexia, inefficient processing might underlie poor reading. Alternatively, reading deficit could be due to or information. In this event-related potential study, participants with dyslexia ( N = 25) control readers 27) were presented pairs words pseudowords an...
Abstract Skilled reading is thought to rely on well-specified lexical representations that compete during visual word recognition. The establishment of these assumed be driven by phonology. To test the role phonology, we examined prime lexicality effect (PLE), index competition in signing deaf (N = 28) and hearing adult readers Hungarian matched age education. We found no PLE for even when skills were controlled for. Surprisingly, controls also showed reduced PLE; however, was modulated...
