Smail Layes; Sana Tibi; Marjolaine Cohen; Linda Lombardino – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2024
This study examined the relationships between word reading and rapid automatized naming (RAN) for objects and letters in Arabic-speaking children with and without dyslexia to determine potential modulating effects of color on naming by comparing children's performance on color and black-white RAN plates. Participants were 114 Arabic-speaking third…

Niolaki, Georgia Z.; Vousden, Janet; Terzopoulos, Aris R.; Taylor, Laura M.; Sephton, Shani; Masterson, Jackie – Journal of Research in Reading, 2020
Background: The study aimed to explore to what extent variables associated with lexical and sublexical spelling processes predicted single word spelling ability and whether patterns of lexical and sublexical processes were different across ages. Methods: Beginning (mean age 7 years, N=144) and advanced (mean age 9 years, N=114) English-speaking…

Chen, Nga Ting; Zheng, Mo; Ho, Connie Suk-Han – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
The present study examines the visual attention span deficit hypothesis in Chinese developmental dyslexia. Twenty-five Cantonese-speaking Chinese dyslexic children (DD group) were compared with 25 chronological-age-matched (CA) controls and another 25 reading-level-matched (RL) controls on their performance in visual attention span, reading, and…

Puspitawati, Ira; Jebrane, Ahmed; Vinter, Annie – Child Development, 2014
This study investigated the spatial analysis of tactile hierarchical patterns in 110 early-blind children aged 6-8 to 16-18 years, as compared to 90 blindfolded sighted children, in a naming and haptic drawing task. The results revealed that regardless of visual status, young children predominantly produced local responses in both tasks, whereas…

Shimi, Andria; Scerif, Gaia – Developmental Psychology, 2015
What cognitive processes influence how well we maintain information in visual short-term memory (VSTM)? We used a developmentally informed design to delve into the interplay of top-down spatial biases with the nature of the internal memory codes, motivated by documented changes for both factors over childhood. Seven-year-olds, 11-year-olds, and…

Asaad, Hanan; Eviatar, Zohar – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2014
We examined the relative contribution of visual abilities, accessibility of letter names, and phonological awareness, to text reading speed and accuracy of Arabic in first, third, and fifth grades. The results revealed that for all levels of skill, phonological awareness contributes significantly to reading accuracy, to the same degree. For…

Liu, Duo; Chen, Xi; Chung, Kevin K. H. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2015
This study examined the relation between the performance in a visual search task and reading ability in 92 third-grade Hong Kong Chinese children. The visual search task, which is considered a measure of visual-spatial attention, accounted for unique variance in Chinese character reading after controlling for age, nonverbal intelligence,…
