Di Folco, Cécile; Guez, Ava; Peyre, Hugo; Ramus, Franck – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
The present study performed a systematic comparison of DSM-5 and ICD-11 diagnostic criteria for reading disability. We quantitatively investigated the consequences of using DSM-5 or ICD-11, and of the different ways of implementing each diagnostic criterion on the prevalence of reading disability. We did so in a representative sample of the…

Strickland, Brent – Cognitive Science, 2017
The underlying structures that are common to the world's languages bear an intriguing connection with early emerging forms of "core knowledge" (Spelke & Kinzler, 2007), which are frequently studied by infant researchers. In particular, grammatical systems often incorporate distinctions (e.g., the mass/count distinction) that reflect…

Cox, Jessica G.; Lynch, Julianna M.; Mendes, Najee; Zhai, ChengCheng – Language Learning, 2019
An enduring question is whether language learning aptitude is a stable trait or is one influenced by experience, such as living with two languages. We investigated aptitude in bilinguals and treated their bilingual experience as an aggregate of variables, focusing on how individual differences in (a) language experience variables of proficiency,…

Gillespie-Lynch, Kristen; Hotez, Emily; Zajic, Matthew; Riccio, Ariana; DeNigris, Danielle; Kofner, Bella; Bublitz, Dennis; Gaggi, Naomi; Luca, Kavi – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
The writing skills of autistic university students have received very little empirical attention. Previous research has suggested that autistic people may struggle with writing, in part, due to challenges with Theory of Mind. However, other research indicates that Theory of Mind difficulties are far from universal in autism, varying across…

Zhang, Dongbo; Ke, Sihui; Mo, Ya – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
This article synthesizes the roles of morphology in English reading acquisition and reports a meta-analytic structural equation modeling study (k = 107, N = 21,818) that tested the effects of morphological awareness (MA) on reading comprehension in school-aged readers. Moderator analysis was conducted through a set of subgroup comparisons based on…
