Impaired Perception and Neural Processing of Rules in Developmental Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Virtala, Paula; Partanen, Eino; Kujala, Teija – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
Rules and regularities of language are typically processed in an implicit and effortless way in the human brain. Individuals with developmental dyslexia have problems in implicit learning of regularities in sequential stimuli, but the neural basis of this deficit has not been studied. This study investigated extraction and utilization of a complex…

Sequential Prediction of Literacy Achievement for Specific Learning Disabilities Contrasting in Impaired Levels of Language in Grades 4 to 9
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sanders, Elizabeth A.; Berninger, Virginia W.; Abbott, Robert D. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
Sequential regression was used to evaluate whether language-related working memory components uniquely predict reading and writing achievement beyond cognitive-linguistic translation for students in Grades 4 through 9 (N = 103) with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) in subword handwriting (dysgraphia, n = 25), word reading and spelling…

Relationships of Attention and Executive Functions to Oral Language, Reading, and Writing Skills and Systems in Middle Childhood and Early Adolescence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Berninger, Virginia; Abbott, Robert; Cook, Clayton R.; Nagy, William – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Relationships between attention/executive functions and language learning were investigated in students in Grades 4 to 9 (N = 88) with and without specific learning disabilities (SLDs) in multiword syntax in oral and written language (OWL LD), word reading and spelling (dyslexia), and subword letter writing (dysgraphia). Prior…

Tip-of-the-Tongue and Word Retrieval Deficits in Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hanly, Sarah; Vandenberg, Brian – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
Tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) responses on a picture-naming task were used to test the hypothesis that dyslexia involves phonological, but not semantic, processing deficits. Participants included 16 children with dyslexia and 31 control children between 8 and 10 years of age who did not differ in receptive vocabulary. As hypothesized, children with…

Central Auditory Processing Ability in Children with ADHD with and without Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gomez, Rapson; Condon, Margaret – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1999
A study examined central auditory processing ability of 15 children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), 15 children with ADHD and learning disabilities (LD), and 15 controls. Results indicated lower central-auditory-processing ability and significant correlations between reading and ADHD and reading and…

Validity of the Auditory Continuous Performance Test in Differentiating Central Processing Auditory Disorders with and without ADHD.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Riccio, Cynthia A.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1996
This study analyzed the performance of 30 children (ages 9-11) with central auditory processing disorders (CAPD), to test the validity of the Auditory Continuous Performance Test in differentiating between CAPD with and without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Results indicated limited potential of the test in the differential…
