Notebaert, Wim; Verguts, Tom – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
Congruency effects are typically smaller after incongruent than after congruent trials. One explanation is in terms of higher levels of cognitive control after detection of conflict (conflict adaptation; e.g., M. M. Botvinick, T. S. Braver, D. M. Barch, C. S. Carter, & J. D.

A Transactional Perspective on Reading Difficulties and Response to Intervention
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McEneaney, John E.; Lose, Mary K.; Schwartz, Robert M. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2006
A Response to Intervention (RTI) model proposes identification of students with reading difficulties on the basis of a series of progressively more intensive instructional interventions over extended periods of time. Learners with serious reading difficulties are those whose difficulties are not resolved by the interventions. Three advantages of…
