Adrienne D. Woods; Paul L. Morgan; Yangyang Wang; George Farkas; Marianne M. Hillemeier – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2025
The extent to which reading achievement is causally impacted by eligibility for special education services due to a learning disability (LD) or speech or language impairment (SLI) is currently unclear. In this registered report, we analyzed U.S. national data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study--Kindergarten Cohort of 2010-2011 (ECLS-K:…

Diego Arenas; Josep Vidal-Conti; Adrià Muntaner-Mas – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2025
Purpose: We aimed to determine gender differences in students' moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels measured in primary school by accelerometry. Methods: Our systematic search (PROSPERO: CRD42023422799) was developed using four electronic databases (from January 2013 to December 22, 2023). Our meta-analysis was conducted based on a…

Danielle Harris; Ilyse Resnick; Tracy Logan; Tom Lowrie – Developmental Science, 2025
There are contentious and persistent gender differences reported in some measures of spatial skills, particularly mental rotation and, to a lesser extent, perspective-taking, which may have an impact on mathematics success. Furthermore, pathways between spatial skills and mathematics may be mediated by other cognitive factors, such as fluid…
