Sascha Couvee; Loes Wauters; Harry Knoors; Ludo Verhoeven; Eliane Segers – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2025
We investigated relations between kindergarten precursors and second-grade reading skills in deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children, and aimed to identify subgroups based on reading skills, in order to explore early signs of later reading delays. DHH children (n = 23, M[subscript age] kindergarten = 6.25) participated from kindergarten-second…

Hills, Peter J.; Lewis, Michael B. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Five minutes of processing the local features of a Navon letter causes a detriment in subsequent face-recognition performance (Macrae & Lewis, 2002). We hypothesize a perceptual after effect explanation of this effect in which face recognition is less accurate after adapting to high-spatial frequencies at high contrasts. Five experiments were…

Adlof, Suzanne M.; Catts, Hugh W.; Lee, Jaehoon – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
Multiple studies have shown that kindergarten measures of phonological awareness and alphabet knowledge are good predictors of reading achievement in the primary grades. However, less attention has been given to the early predictors of later reading achievement. This study used a modified best-subsets variable-selection technique to examine…
