Cornoldi, Cesare; Rivella, Carlotta; Montesano, Lorena; Toffalini, Enrico – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Letters and numbers are different domains, and their differentiation increases with schooling. It has nonetheless been argued that reading alphabetic and numerical materials partly involves the same processes, even in adults. Whether individuals with dyslexia have difficulty reading and writing numbers remains to be established. This study…

Wang, Li-Chih; Li, Xiaomin; Chung, Kevin Kien Hoa – Annals of Dyslexia, 2021
The influence of test anxiety on academic difficulties has been investigated in typically developing students, but the mechanism underlying the influence remains unclear, especially for those with specific learning disabilities (SpLDs). This study examined the role of metacognition in the relationship between test anxiety and literacy difficulties…

Tuija Aro; Ahmet Bilal Özbek; Minna Torppa – Annals of Dyslexia, 2024
We studied the associations between childhood-identified learning disabilities and adult-age mental health and whether adult-age reading and math skills, coping styles, or resilience influenced the associations. The participants were 159 Finnish adults (60.4% males). Of them, 48 (30%) had a reading disability (RD), 22 (14%) had a math disability…

Because students with specific learning disorders with impairments in reading (SLD-IR) show deficits in reading comprehension, they may struggle to perform in science. As language in science is characterized by linguistic complexity, the question…
