Yang, Yang; Zuo, Zhentao; Tam, Fred; Graham, Simon J.; Li, Junjun; Ji, Yuzhu; Meng, Zelong; Gu, Chanyuan; Bi, Hong-Yan; Ou, Jian; Xu, Min – Developmental Science, 2022
Abundant behavioral studies have demonstrated high comorbidity of reading and handwriting difficulties in developmental dyslexia (DD), a neurological condition characterized by unexpectedly low reading ability despite adequate nonverbal intelligence and typical schooling. The neural correlates of handwriting deficits remain largely unknown;…

Lui, Kelvin F. H.; Lo, Jason C. M.; Maurer, Urs; Ho, Connie S.-H.; McBride, Catherine – Developmental Science, 2021
Research on what neural mechanisms facilitate word reading development in non-alphabetic scripts is relatively rare. The present study was among the first to adopt a multivariate pattern classification analysis to decode electroencephalographic signals recorded for primary school children (N = 236) while performing a Chinese character decision…

Mousikou, Petroula; Beyersmann, Elisabeth; Ktori, Maria; Javourey-Drevet, Ludivine; Crepaldi, Davide; Ziegler, Johannes C.; Grainger, Jonathan; Schroeder, Sascha – Developmental Science, 2020
The present study investigated whether morphological processing in reading is influenced by the orthographic consistency of a language or its morphological complexity. Developing readers in Grade 3 and skilled adult readers participated in a reading aloud task in four alphabetic orthographies (English, French, German, Italian), which differ in…

Lin, Dan; Sun, Huilin; McBride, Catherine – Developmental Science, 2019
In this longitudinal study, we assessed 88 Hong Kong Chinese typically developing kindergarteners' Chinese character reading accuracy four times with 6-month intervals over 1.5 years with the first testing point in the fall of the second year of kindergarten (K2), during which morphological awareness, phonological awareness, orthographic…

Tóth, Dénes; Csépe, Valéria – Developmental Science, 2017
The present experiments focused on how orthographic processing develops during reading acquisition. Specifically, a large, cross-sectional sample of children from grade 2 to grade 4 was exposed to pairs of words, pseudowords, digit strings, and pseudo-letter (Armenian) strings while their sensitivity to transpositions (T) and substitutions (S) of…

Gullick, Margaret M.; Demir-Lira, Özlem Ece; Booth, James R. – Developmental Science, 2016
Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been repeatedly linked with decreased academic achievement, including lower reading outcomes. Some lower SES children do show skills and scores commensurate with those of their higher SES peers, but whether their abilities stem from the same systems as high SES children or are based on divergent strategies is…
