Direct linkRouweler, Liset; Varkevisser, Nelleke; Brysbaert, Marc; Maassen, Ben; Tops, Wim – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2020
In this study, we present a new diagnostic test for dyslexia, called the Flamingo Test, inspired by the French Alouette Test. The purpose of the test is to measure students' word decoding skills and reading fluency by means of a grammatically correct but meaningless text. Two experiments were run to test the predictive validity of the Flamingo…

Sjoblom, Amanda M.; Eaton, Elizabeth; Stagg, Steven D. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Background: Zorzi et al. (2012, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 109, 11455) found evidence that extra-large letter spacing aids children with dyslexia, but the evidence for the coloured overlays is contradictory (e.g., Henderson et al., 2013, "J. Res. Special Educ. Needs," 13, 57; Wilkins, 2002, "Ophthalmic Physiol. Opt.," 22,…

Tops, W.; Callens, C.; Van Cauwenberghe, E.; Adriaens, J.; Brysbaert, M. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2013
To have a clearer idea of the problems students with dyslexia may face during their studies, we compared writings of 100 students with dyslexia and 100 age matched control students in higher education. The aim of this study was to compare the writing of young adults with dyslexia and young adults without dyslexia. The study was carried out in…

Tops, Wim; Callens, Maaike; Bijn, Evi; Brysbaert, Marc – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014
In this study we focused on the spelling of high-functioning students with dyslexia. We made a detailed classification of the errors in a word and sentence dictation task made by 100 students with dyslexia and 100 matched control students. All participants were in the first year of their bachelor's studies and had Dutch as mother tongue. Three…

Coleman, Chris; Gregg, Noel; McLain, Lisa; Bellair, Leslie W. – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2009
In this study, the authors analyzed 2,056 spelling errors produced by 130 young adults (65 with dyslexia, 65 typically achieving), which came from two sources: a standardized spelling test and an impromptu essay-writing task. Students with dyslexia exhibited higher spelling error rates across both tasks. To characterize the inaccurate spelling…

Lindgren, Signe-Anita; Laine, Matti – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2011
We investigated reading and writing in two domestic languages (Swedish and Finnish) and one foreign language (English) among multilingual university students with (n = 20) versus without dyslexia (n = 20). Our analyses encompassed overall speed and accuracy measures and an in-depth analysis of grapheme-phoneme-grapheme errors and inflectional…

Miles, T. R.; Thierry, Guillaume; Roberts, Judith; Schiffeldrin, Josie – Dyslexia, 2006
Forty-eight college students, 24 of them dyslexic, were presented with four sentences of increasing complexity. Participants were asked to repeat each sentence and a record was kept of the number of repetitions required before 100% correct accuracy was achieved. None of the 24 control participants required a total of more than eight repetitions…

Colangelo, Annette; Holden, John G.; Buchanan, Lori; Van Orden, Guy C. – Brain and Language, 2004
This article contrasts aphasic patients' performance of word naming and lexical decision with that of intact college-aged readers. We discuss this contrast within a framework of self-organization; word recognition by aphasic patients is destabilized relative to intact performance. Less stable performance shows itself as an increase in the…
