The present study investigated the role of early oral language and family risk for dyslexia in the two developmental pathways toward reading comprehension, through word reading and through oral language abilities. The sample contained 237 children (164 at family risk for dyslexia) from the Dutch Dyslexia Program. Longitudinal data were obtained on seven occasions when children were between 4 an...

The phonological awareness (PA), vocabulary, and word reading abilities of 19 children with cochlear implants (CI) were assessed. Nine children had an implant early (between 2 and 3.6 years) and 10 had an implant later (between 5 and 7 years). Participants were tested twice over a 12-month period on syllable, rhyme, and phoneme awareness (see James et al., 2005). Performance of CI users was com...

Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are a class of endogenous RNA molecules, which have a transcribing length of over 200 nt, lack a complete functional open reading frame (ORF), and rarely encode a functional short peptide. Recent studies have revealed that disruption of LncRNAs levels correlates with several human diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM), a complex multifactorial metabolic disor...

Dyslexia is a specific form of learning disorder related to difficulty reading and in writing expression. Most dyslexia children show low ability overall phonological processing, leading slower development than other children. Therefore, intervention methods are needed that tailored the characteristics dyslexic children, one which flashcard medium with principle economic tokens. The purpose thi...

Late distributive disambiguation, (3), increases reading measures (first pass, total times, regressions) compared to late collective disambiguation, (4). Early distributive disambiguation, (1), does not significantly increase reading measures compared to early collective disambiguation, (2). Interpretation: Potentially ambiguous predicates are interpreted collectively by the processor ⇒ garden-...
