Examining the Effects of PASS Cognitive Processes on Chinese Reading Accuracy and Fluency
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Xiaochen; Georgiou, George K.; Das, J. P. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive) processes to Chinese reading accuracy and fluency. One-hundred-forty Grade 3 to 5 Mandarin-speaking children were assessed on measures of PASS processes, phonological awareness, and orthographic knowledge. A year later they were…

Wang, Xiaochen; Georgiou, George K.; Das, J. P.; Li, Qing – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2012
The purpose of the present study was twofold: (a) to examine the extent to which Chinese dyslexic children experience deficits in phonological and orthographic processing skills and (b) to examine if Chinese dyslexia is associated with deficits in Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive (PASS) processing. A total of 27 Grade 4 children…

Cognitive and Reading Profiles of Two Samples of Canadian First Nations Children: Comparing Two Models for Identifying Reading Disability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Janzen, Troy M.; Saklofske, Donald H.; Das, J. P. – Canadian Journal of School Psychology, 2013
Two Canadian First Nations samples of Grades 3 and 4 children were assessed for cognitive processing, word reading, and phonological awareness skills. Both groups were from Plains Cree rural reservations in different provinces. The two groups showed significant differences on several key cognitive variables although there were more similarities…

Remediating Reading Comprehension Difficulties: A Cognitive Processing Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mahapatra, Shamita; Das, J. P.; Stack-Cutler, Holly; Parrila, Rauno – Reading Psychology, 2010
The efficacy of a cognitive-based remediation program was investigated with 14 English-as-a-second-language (ESL) poor readers in Grade 4 who had significant difficulty in comprehension and 14 normal ESL readers in Grade 4 who received no remediation. Both groups were selected from 2 English-medium schools in India. We examined pretest-to-posttest…

Influence of Distal and Proximal Cognitive Processes on Word Reading
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Das, J. P.; Georgiou, George; Janzen, Troy – Reading Psychology, 2008
The objectives of the present study were twofold: (a) to explore the interrelationship among distal, proximal cognitive skills, and word reading; and (b) to identify those cognitive processes that predict phonological awareness and rapid naming. Seventy First-Nation Canadian children attending grades 3 and 4 were examined on phonological…

Skills Underlying Coloured Progressive Matrices
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kirby, J. R.; Das, J. P. – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 1978
Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices and a battery of ability tests were administered to a sample of 104 male fourth graders for purposes of investigating the relationships between 2 previously identified subscales of the Raven and the ability tests. Results indicated use of a spatial strategy and to a lesser extent, use of reasoning, indicating…

An Experiment on Cognitive Remediation of Word-Reading Difficulty.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Das, J. P.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1995
The PASS Remedial Program (PREP), a word reading program which focuses on 4 major cognitive processes (planning, attention, simultaneous, and successive processing) was evaluated with 51 grade-4 children with decoding difficulties. The "global process" and curriculum-related "bridging" program components were separately and…

Cognitive Strategies in Native Children: Analysis and Intervention
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Krywaniuk, L. W.; Das, J. P. – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 1976
Forty Canadian Indian children in grades three and four were divided into two groups and given a minimum and a maximum remediation program to improve their sequential learning processes. The maximum program resulted in significant improvement in sequential tasks such as auditory and visual memory and reading tests. (JC)

A Process Approach To Remediating Word-Decoding Deficiencies in Chapter 1 Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Carlson, Jerry S.; Das, J. P. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1997
Two studies evaluated the Process-Based Reading Enhancement Program (PREP) with 150 grade 4 economically disadvantaged children. Pre- and posttesting with the Word Attack and Word Identification subtests of the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests-Revised found significant group-by-time interactions. Results support the efficacy of the PREP to improve…
