Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Sisi; Wang, Li-Chih; Liu, Duo – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
The present study examined whether temporal processing (TP) is associated with reading of a non-alphabetic script, that is, Chinese. A total of 126 primary school-aged Chinese children from Taiwan (63 children with dyslexia) completed cross-modal, visual, and auditory temporal order judgment tasks and measures of Chinese reading and…

Cunningham, Anna J.; Carroll, Julia M. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2011
We investigate the effects of age-related factors and formal instruction on the development of reading-related skills in children aged 4 and 7 years. Age effects were determined by comparing two groups of children at the onset of formal schooling; one aged 7 (later-schooled) and one aged 4 (earlier-schooled). Schooling effects were measured by…

Double Dissociation between Reading and Spelling Deficits
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Moll, Kristina; Landerl, Karin – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2009
In two studies dissociations between reading and spelling skills were examined. Study 1 reports equally high prevalence rates for isolated deficits in reading (7%) or spelling (6%) in a representative sample (N = 2,029) of German-speaking elementary school children. In Study 2, children with isolated deficits were presented with the same words to…

Ding, Yi; Richman, Lynn C.; Yang, Ling-yan; Guo, Jian-peng – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
The purpose of this study was to evaluate rapid automatized naming skills (RAN) and immediate memory processes in 243 Chinese Mandarin-speaking elementary readers (ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 5). For RAN subtests, the mean naming time decreased monotonically with grade level in good and average readers, and a similar trajectory was found in poor…

Working Memory Deficit in Children with Mathematical Difficulties: A General or Specific Deficit?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Andersson, Ulf; Lyxell, Bjorn – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
This study examined whether children with mathematical difficulties (MDs) or comorbid mathematical and reading difficulties have a working memory deficit and whether the hypothesized working memory deficit includes the whole working memory system or only specific components. In the study, 31 10-year-olds with MDs and 37 10-year-olds with both…
