The Deployment of Young Readers´ Visual Attention across Orthographic Strings: The Influence of Stems and Suffixes
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)
The goal of the paper was to investigate whether morphological units –
stems and suffixes – influence orthographic processing by modulating
visual attention demands to the task. Orthographic processing was measured
with ...
Enhancing reading performance through action video games: the role of visual attention span
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Recent studies reported that Action Video Game-AVG training improves not only certain attentional components, but also reading fluency in children with dyslexia. We aimed to investigate the shared attentional components ...
Amodal Atypical Neural Oscillatory Activity in Dyslexia: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective
(Clinical Psychological Science, 2017)
It has been proposed that atypical neural oscillations in both the auditory and the visual modalities could explain why
some individuals fail to learn to read and suffer from developmental dyslexia. However, the role of ...
Cross-Language Modulation of Visual Attention Span: An Arabic-French-Spanish Comparison in Skilled Adult Readers
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
In delineating the amount of orthographic information that can be processed in parallel during a single fixation, the visual attention (VA) span acts as a key component of the reading system. Previous studies focused on ...
Out-of-Synchrony Speech Entrainment in Developmental Dyslexia
(Human Brain Mapping, 2016)
Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder often characterized by reduced awareness of speech units. Whether the neural source of this phonological disorder in dyslexic readers results from the malfunctioning of the ...
The effect of orthographic depth on letter string processing: the case of visual attention span and rapid automatized naming
(Reading and Writing, 2018)
The present study investigated whether orthographic depth can increase the bias towards multi-letter processing in two reading-related skills: visual attention span (VAS) and rapid automatized naming (RAN). VAS (i.e., the ...
Cross-linguistic interactions influence reading development in bilinguals: a comparison between early balanced French-Basque and Spanish-Basque bilingual children
(Developmental Science, 2016)
This study investigates whether orthographic consistency and transparency of languages have an impact on the development of
reading strategies and reading sub-skills (i.e. phonemic awareness and visual attention span) in ...
The role of metacognition in monitoring performance and regulating learning in early readers
(SPRINGER, 2022)
Metacognition refers to the capacity to reflect upon our own cognitive processes. Its contribution
to reading development, when children start building their orthographic lexicon,
still remains unknown. Here, we evaluate ...
Compensatory cross‑modal effects of sentence context on visual word recognition in adults
(Reading and Writing, 2021)
Reading involves mapping combinations of a learned visual code (letters) onto
meaning. Previous studies have shown that when visual word recognition is challenged
by visual degradation, one way to mitigate these negative ...
Lexiland: A Tablet-based Universal Screener for Reading Difficulties in the School Context
(SAGE, 2022)
Massive and timely screening of the student population for early signs of reading difficulties is needed to implement timely effective remediation of these difficulties. However, traditional approaches are costly and hard ...
