Auditive training effects from a dichotic listening app in children with dyslexia
Dichotic listening (DL) taps information on the brain's language laterality, processing, and attention. Research has shown that DL responses in dyslexia deviate from the typical pattern. Here, effects of DL training and its correspondence to rapid naming (RAN) and digit span (DS) in typical children and children with dyslexia were assessed. Three groups of third graders participated: two training groups, control training (CT) and dyslexia training (DT), and a control group that received no training (control no training, CnT). All took part in testing pretraining and posttraining. DL measures were on laterality, response sc...

Reading in a transparent second language with limited orality: The case of high school students with dyslexia in Latin
Research has shown that individuals with dyslexia have difficulty in reading not only in their native language but also in a second language (L2). The considered L2, however, has always been a language acquired through exposure to both written and oral forms. The present study examines the case of Italian adolescents reading in Latin as an L2, which is the special case of a dead language with very limited use of orality. As the learning of Latin is mainly based on the acquisition of grammar, this study also examined the relationship between grammatical proficiency and reading ability in Latin. Results suggested that, compa...

Independence of syntactic and phonological deficits in dyslexia: A study using the attraction error paradigm
This paper addresses the question of whether dyslexic children suffer from syntactic deficits that are independent of limitations with phonological processing. We looked at subject ‐verb agreement errors after sentence subjects containing a second noun (the attractor) known to be able to attract incorrect agreement (e.g., “the owner(s) of the house(s) is/are away”). In the general population, attraction errors are not straightforwardly dependent on the presence or absenc e of morphophonological plural markers but on their syntactic configuration. The same would be expected for dyslexic children if their syntactic pro...

Statistical methods and reporting practices in the study of dyslexia
This report presents findings from a review of the journalsDyslexia andAnnals of Dyslexia over a 10 ‐year period from 2005 to 2014. Three hundred articles were reviewed to examine statistical methodology and reporting practices. Articles were coded according to their reported covariates, effect sizes, and statistical methods. In addition, trends were examined in relation to the 2008 release of t heWhat Works Clearinghouse Procedures and Standards Handbook from the Institute of Education Sciences in order to evaluate any potential impact of recommended practices. We found an increase in prevalence of specific statistical ...

N1 lateralization and dyslexia: An event ‐related potential study in children with a familial risk of dyslexia
The rapid automatic specialized processing of printed words is signalled by the left ‐lateralization of the N1 component in the visual event‐related potential (ERP). In the present study, we have investigated whether differences in N1 lateralization can be observed between Dutch children with and without (a familial risk of) dyslexia around the age of 12 years using a linguisti c judgement task. Forty‐five participants were included in the ERP analysis, 18 in the low familial risk group without dyslexia, 15 in the high familial risk group without dyslexia, and 12 in the high familial risk group with dyslexia. The re...
