Mathematics Difficulty with and without Reading Difficulty: Findings and Implications from a Four-Year Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vukovic, Rose K. – Exceptional Children, 2012
An overarching question guided this study:What is mathematics difficulty (MD) independent of reading difficulty (RD)? The sample included 203 children whom the researchers followed from kindergarten to third grade. The researchers used latent growth modeling to investigate the relationship between MD and measures of working memory, short-term…

Jones, Manon W.; Branigan, Holly P.; Parra, Mario A.; Logie, Robert H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The ability to learn visual-phonological associations is a unique predictor of word reading, and individuals with developmental dyslexia show impaired ability in learning these associations. In this study, we compared developmentally dyslexic and nondyslexic adults on their ability to form cross-modal associations (or "bindings") based…

Visual Deficits in Developmental Dyslexia: Relationships between Non-Linguistic Visual Tasks and Their Contribution to Components of Reading
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jones, Manon W.; Branigan, Holly P.; Kelly, M. Louise – Dyslexia, 2008
Developmental dyslexia is often characterized by a visual deficit, but the nature of this impairment and how it relates to reading ability is disputed ("Brain" 2003; "126": 841-865). In order to investigate this issue, we compared groups of adults with and without dyslexia on the Ternus, visual-search and symbols tasks.…

Short-Term Memory Deficits in Reading Disabled Children, in the Absence of Opportunity for Rehearsal Strategies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cohen, R. L.; Netley, C. – Intelligence, 1981
Two groups of reading-disabled (RD) children were compared with controls (age- and IQ-matched competent readers), on a serial running memory task. RD children performed reliably worse than their controls due to an inability to encode serial items in the form of serial phonological patterns. (Author/RD)
