Dynamics of Cognitive Predictors during Reading Acquisition in a Sample of Children Overrepresented for Dyslexia Risk
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Blockmans, Lauren; Kievit, Rogier; Wouters, Jan; Ghesquière, Pol; Vandermosten, Maaike – Developmental Science, 2024
Literacy acquisition is a complex process with genetic and environmental factors influencing cognitive and neural processes associated with reading. Previous research identified factors that predict word reading fluency (WRF), including phonological awareness (PA), rapid automatized naming (RAN), and speech-in-noise perception (SPIN). Recent…

Learning to Read in Chinese: Evidence for Reciprocal Relationships between Word Reading and Oral Language Skills
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hulme, Charles; Zhou, Lulin; Tong, Xiuli; Lervåg, Arne; Burgoyne, Kelly – Developmental Science, 2019
This study investigates the longitudinal predictors of the development of Chinese word reading skills and potential bidirectional relationships between Chinese word reading and oral language skills. We examine, in a 2-year longitudinal study, a wide range of theoretically important predictors (phonological awareness, tone awareness, morphological…

On the Relationship between Phonological Awareness, Morphological Awareness and Chinese Literacy Skills: Evidence from an 8-Year Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pan, Jinger; Song, Shuang; Su, Mengmeng; McBride, Catherine; Liu, Hongyun; Zhang, Yuping; Li, Hong; Shu, Hua – Developmental Science, 2016
The present study reported data on phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and Chinese literacy skills of 294 children from an 8-year longitudinal study. Results showed that mainland Chinese children's preliterate syllable awareness at ages 4 to 6 years uniquely predicted post-literate morphological awareness at ages 7 to 10 years.…

Tracing Children's Vocabulary Development from Preschool through the School-Age Years: An 8-Year Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Song, Shuang; Su, Mengmeng; Kang, Cuiping; Liu, Hongyun; Zhang, Yuping; McBride-Chang, Catherine; Tardif, Twila; Li, Hong; Liang, Weilan; Zhang, Zhixiang; Shu, Hua – Developmental Science, 2015
In this 8-year longitudinal study, we traced the vocabulary growth of Chinese children, explored potential precursors of vocabulary knowledge, and investigated how vocabulary growth predicted future reading skills. Two hundred and sixty-four (264) native Chinese children from Beijing were measured on a variety of reading and language tasks over…

Cognitive Components of a Mathematical Processing Network in 9-Year-Old Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Szucs, Dénes; Devine, Amy; Soltesz, Fruzsina; Nobes, Alison; Gabriel, Florence – Developmental Science, 2014
We determined how various cognitive abilities, including several measures of a proposed domain-specific number sense, relate to mathematical competence in nearly 100 9-year-old children with normal reading skill. Results are consistent with an extended number processing network and suggest that important processing nodes of this network are…

The Roles of Family History of Dyslexia, Language, Speech Production and Phonological Processing in Predicting Literacy Progress
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Carroll, Julia M.; Mundy, Ian R.; Cunningham, Anna J. – Developmental Science, 2014
It is well established that speech, language and phonological skills are closely associated with literacy, and that children with a family risk of dyslexia (FRD) tend to show deficits in each of these areas in the preschool years. This paper examines what the relationships are between FRD and these skills, and whether deficits in speech, language…
