Influences of Visual Attention and Reading Time on Children and Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wei, Chun-Chun; Ma, Min-Yuan – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2017
This study investigates the relationship between visual attention and reading time using a mobile electroencephalography device. The mobile electroencephalography device uses a single channel dry sensor, which easily measures participants' attention in the real-world reading environment. The results reveal that age significantly influences visual…

Verbal and Visual-Spatial Working Memory: What Develops over a Life Span?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Swanson, H. Lee – Developmental Psychology, 2017
This study investigates whether age-related changes in the structure of 5 complex working memory (WM) tasks (a) reflect a general or domain specific system, (b) follows a similar trajectory across different age spans, and (c) contribute domain general or domain specific resources to achievement measures. The study parsed the sample (N = 2,471)…

Identifying Subtypes among Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder and Mathematical Learning Disabilities, Using Model-Based Clustering
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pieters, Stefanie; Roeyers, Herbert; Rosseel, Yves; Van Waelvelde, Hilde; Desoete, Annemie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
A relationship between motor and mathematical skills has been shown by previous research. However, the question of whether subtypes can be differentiated within developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and/or mathematical learning disability (MLD) remains unresolved. In a sample of children with and without DCD and/or MLD, a data-driven…

Working Memory in Children with Learning Disabilities in Reading versus Spelling: Searching for Overlapping and Specific Cognitive Factors
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Brandenburg, Janin; Klesczewski, Julia; Fischbach, Anne; Schuchardt, Kirsten; Büttner, Gerhard; Hasselhorn, Marcus – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
In transparent orthographies like German, isolated learning disabilities in either reading or spelling are common and occur as often as a combined reading and spelling disability. However, most issues surrounding the cognitive causes of these isolated or combined literacy difficulties are yet unresolved. Recently, working memory dysfunctions have…

Children's Perception and Understanding of (Dis)similarities among Dynamic Bodily/Facial Expressions of Happiness, Pleasure, Anger, and Irritation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Vieillard, Sandrine; Guidetti, Michele – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2009
The current study examined the abilities of children (6 and 8 years of age) and adults to freely categorize and label dynamic bodily/facial expressions designed to portray happiness, pleasure, anger, irritation, and neutrality and controlled for their level of valence, arousal, intensity, and authenticity. Multidimensional scaling and cluster…

Visuospatial Immediate Memory in Specific Language Impairment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Archibald, Lisa M. D.; Gathercole, Susan E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: Investigations of the cognitive processes underlying specific language impairment (SLI) have implicated deficits in verbal short-term and working memory and in particular the storage and processing of phonological information. This study investigated short-term and working memory for visuospatial material for a group of children with SLI,…
