Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Howe, Mark L.; Berry, Donna M.; Knott, Lauren M. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012
The effect of test-induced priming on false recognition was investigated in children aged 5, 7, 9, and 11 years using lists of semantic associates, category exemplars, and phonological associates. In line with effects previously observed in adults, nine- and eleven-year-olds showed increased levels of false recognition when critical lures were…

Lewis, Barbara A.; Avrich, Allison A.; Freebairn, Lisa A.; Taylor, H. Gerry; Iyengar, Sudha K.; Stein, Catherine M. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2011
Purpose: The present study examined associations of 5 endophenotypes (i.e., measurable skills that are closely associated with speech sound disorders and are useful in detecting genetic influences on speech sound production), oral motor skills, phonological memory, phonological awareness, vocabulary, and speeded naming, with 3 clinical criteria…

Meeter, M.; Shohamy, D.; Myers, C. E. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2009
Acquired equivalence is a paradigm in which generalization is increased between two superficially dissimilar stimuli (or antecedents) that have previously been associated with similar outcomes (or consequents). Several possible mechanisms have been proposed, including changes in stimulus representations, either in the form of added associations or…

Validation of Malingered Amnesia Measures with a Large Clinical Sample.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Greiffenstein, Manfred F.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1994
A sample of chronic postconcussive patients with and without overt malingering signs was compared with objectively brain-injured patients (total sample=106) on common episodic memory and malingered amnesia measures. Findings validate commonly cited malingering measures and new methods of classifying malingering in real-world clinical samples. (SLD)

An Evaluation of the Discrepancy Definition of Dyslexia.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Siegel, Linda S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1992
This study of 1,657 children (ages 7-16) found that although children with dyslexia had higher intelligence quotient scores than poor readers, the 2 groups did not differ in performance on reading, spelling, phonological processing, or most language and memory tasks. The performance of both reading-disabled groups was significantly below that of…
