Applying microstructural models to understand the role of white matter in cognitive development

Huber, E., Henriques, R. N., Owen, J. P., Rokem, A., & Yeatman, J. D. (2019). Applying microstructural models to understand the role of white matter in cognitive development. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 36, 100624. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2019.100624 Abstract Diffusion MRI (dMRI) holds great promise for illuminating the biological changes that underpin cognitive development. The diffusion of…

Remediation-induced changes in the white matter of poor readers

Keller, T. A. & Just, M. A. (2010). Altering cortical connectivity: Remediation-induced changes in the white matter of poor readers. Neuron, 64(5), 624-631. doi:10.1016/j.neuron.2009.10.018. Summary Neuroimaging studies using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have revealed regions of cerebral white matter with decreased microstructural organization (lowerfractional anisotropy or FA) among poor readers. We examined whether 100 hr…

Modifying the brain activation of poor readers during sentence comprehension with extended remedial instruction: A longitudinal study of neuroplasticity.

Meyler, A., Keller, T. A., Cherkassky, V. L., Gabrieli, J. D.E., & Just, M. A. (2008). Modifying the brain activation of poor readers during sentence comprehension with extended remedial instruction: A longitudinal study of neuroplasticity. Neuropsychologia, 46, 2580-2592. doi:10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.03.012 Abstract This study used fMRI to longitudinally assess the impact of intensive remedial instruction on cortical…

A dual coding theoretical model of decoding in reading: Subsuming the Laberge and Samuels model

Sadoski, M., McTigue, E., & Paivio, A. (2012). A dual coding theoretical model of decoding in reading: Subsuming the Laberge and Samuels model. Reading Psychology, 33(5), 465–496. doi:10.1080/02702711.2011.557330 Summary In this article, we present a detailed Dual Coding Theory (DCT) model of decoding. The DCT model reinterprets and subsumes The LaBerge and Samuels (1974) model…

Learning to see words

Wandell, B. A., Rauschecker, A. M., & Yeatman, J. D. (2012). Learning to see words. Annual Review of Psychology, 63, 31-53. doi:10.1146/annurev-psych-120710-100434 Abstract Skilled reading requires recognizing written words rapidly; functional neuroimaging research has clarified how the written word initiates a series of responses in visual cortex. These responses are communicated to circuits in ventral…

The Causal Relationship between Dyslexia and Motion Processing

Joo, S., Donnelly, P. M., & Yeatman, J. D. (2017). The causal relationship between dyslexia and motion perception reconsidered. Scientific Reports, 7, 4185. doi:10.1038/s41598-017-04471-5 Background: As one part of on-going Lindamood-Bell Learning Process (LBLP) intervention studies with dyslexics, the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Science (I-LAB) examined anew the causal relationship between…

Preventing reading failure in young children with phonological processing disabilities: Group and individual responses to instruction

Torgesen, J. K., Wagner, R. K., Rashotte, C. A., Rose, E., Lindamood, P., Conway, T., Garvan, C. (1999) Journal of Educational Psychology, 91(4), 579-593. doi.org/10.1037/0022-0663.91.4.579 Abstract The relative effectiveness of three instructional approaches for the prevention of reading disabilities in young children with weak phonological skills was examined. Two programs varying in the intensity of instruction…

The role of brain activity in characterizing successful reading intervention in children with dyslexia

The role of brain activity in characterizing successful reading intervention in children with dyslexia Krafnick, A. J., Napoliello, E. M., Flowers, D. L., & Eden, G. F. (2022) Frontiers in Neuroscience, 16. doi=10.3389/fnins.2022.898661 Studies of reading intervention in dyslexia have shown changes in reading performance and in brain function. However, there is little consistency in…

Issues in Phonological Awareness Assessment

Lindamood, P. C., Bell, N., & Lindamood, P. (1992). Issues in phonological awareness assessment. Annals of Dyslexia 42, 242-259. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02654948 Awareness of the internal phonological structure of words is a causal factor in success with the alphabetic principle in word recognition. However, findings with the Lindamood Auditory Conceptualization (LAC) Test reveal 25-30% of the population…

Intensive remedial instruction for children with severe reading disabilities: Immediate and long-term outcomes from two instructional approaches

Torgesen, J. K., Alexander, A. W., Wagner, R. K., Rashotte, C. A., Voeller, K. K. S., & Conway, T. (2001). Intensive remedial instruction for children with severe reading disabilities: Immediate and long-term outcomes from two instructional approaches. Journal of Learning Disabilities, 34(1), 33-58.  Sixty children with severe reading disabilities were randomly assigned to two instructional…
