Cranford, Edward A.; Moss, Jarrod – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
When a situation could lead to multiple mutually exclusive consequences, recent research shows that people automatically generate multiple predictive inferences in memory. Several theoretical mechanisms have been proposed to account for the generation of predictive inferences. One hypothesis is that inferences are minimally encoded, represented…

Rebecca Treiman; Jacqueline Hulslander; Erik G. Willcutt; Bruce F. Pennington; Richard K. Olson – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
The goal of the present study was to test theories about the extent to which individual differences in word reading align with those in spelling and the extent to which other cognitive and linguistic skills play different roles in word reading and spelling. Using data from 1,116 children ranging from 8 to 17 years, we modeled word reading and…

Action video-games (AVGs) could improve reading efficiency, enhancing not only visual attention but also phonological processing. Here we tested the AVG effects upon three consolidated language-based predictors of reading development in a sample of 79 pre-readers at-risk and 41 non-at-risk for developmental dyslexia. At-risk children were impaired…

Kim M. Lijbers; Sietske van Viersen; Arjan J. van Tilborg; Anouke Bakx – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2025
Gifted students with relative reading difficulties often struggle with the discrepancy between their high intelligence and lower-than-expected word-reading level (i.e., discrepant readers). This discrepancy may be a burden and poses specific educational challenges to individual students. To understand their challenges and the nature of their…

Halil Ibrahim Öksüz; Hayati Akyol – Turkish Journal of Education, 2024
This study aims to evaluate word callers attending the fourth grade of primary school in terms of rapid naming, verbal working memory, and attention skills, and to examine the effect of the reciprocal teaching approach on the development of word callers' reading comprehension skills. The study group consisted of 25 word callers and 21 independent…

Kroesbergen, Evelyn H.; Huijsmans, Marije D. E.; Friso-van den Bos, Ilona – Review of Educational Research, 2023
Types of mathematical learning disability (MLD) are very heterogeneous. Lower scores on mathematics and several cognitive skills have been revealed in samples with MLD compared with those with typical development (TD), but these studies vary in sample selection, making it difficult to generalize conclusions. Furthermore, many studies have…

Lynn S. Fuchs; Douglas Fuchs; Eunsoo Cho; Marcia A. Barnes; Tuire Koponen; Daniel R. Espinas – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2025
The purpose of this analysis was to describe cognitive processes associated with comorbid difficulty between word reading (WR) and mathematics computation (MC) at the start of first grade among children selected for WR and MC delays. A sample of 234 U.S. children (mean age 6.50 years, SD = 0.31) was assessed on WR, MC, core cognitive processes…

Sascha Couvee; Loes Wauters; Harry Knoors; Ludo Verhoeven; Eliane Segers – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Background: Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children may experience difficulties in word decoding development. Aims: We aimed to compare and predict the incremental word decoding development in first grade in Dutch DHH and hearing children, as a function of kindergarten reading precursors. Methods and procedures: In this study, 25 DHH, and 41…

Cynthia Puranik; Hongli Li; Ying Guo – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the direct and indirect relations between short-term memory (STM), reading, oral language, and writing at the letter, word, and discourse levels in young, developing writers both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Method: Participants were 449 English-speaking kindergarten students (52% female)…

Kuryeong Kim; Qingyun Yu; Susanne Maria Reiterer – Discover Education, 2025
Recent studies have suggested that language aptitude is a domain-general and flexible trait to acquire foreign languages, regarding various cognitive abilities such as memory systems as its crucial components. Despite a growing interest in working memory, however, much remains unknown about the impact of associative memory on language aptitude.…

van Rijthoven, Robin; Kleemans, Tijs; Segers, Eliane; Verhoeven, Ludo – Annals of Dyslexia, 2022
The present study investigated the compensatory role of verbal learning and consolidation in reading and spelling of children with (N = 54) and without dyslexia (N = 36) and the role of verbal learning (learning new verbal information) and consolidation (remember the learned information over time) on the response to a phonics through spelling…

Samuels, Jody; Decker, Scott L. – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Reading fluency (RF) involves the automaticity of many distinct reading skills (e.g., pacing, word recognition, phonological awareness) and allows cognitive resources to be allocated to higher-order reading skills (e.g., comprehension, synthesis). Early identification of students at-risk for RF deficits is critical, but many screeners require a…

Spruhan, Helen; Niolaki, Georgia; Vousden, Janet; Terzopoulos, Aris; Masterson, Jackie – Journal of Educational Research, 2022
The association of phonological and lexical-semantic processes with spelling ability in children has received scant research interest even though uncovering such associations can increase our understanding of literacy development. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 42 6- and 8-year-old children in the southeast of Ireland. The children…

A recent Registered Replication Report (RRR) of the development of verbal rehearsal during serial recall revealed that children verbalized at younger ages than previously thought, but did not identify sources of individual differences. Here, we use mediation analysis to reanalyze data from the 934 children ranging from 5 to 10 years old from the…

Duo Liu; Lei Wang; Terry Tin-Yau Wong; R. Malatesha Joshi – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Rapid automatised naming (RAN) has been found to predict children's reading and arithmetic abilities. However, the underlying mechanisms for its involvement in the two abilities are not clear. This study examines how RAN shared variances with domain-general and domain-specific abilities in predicting reading and arithmetic in Chinese…
