This Research Topic is the second edition of Fluency and reading comprehension in typical readers and dyslexics readers: Volume I This Second Edition Research Topic is focused on the characterization of the reading-writing difficulties and their comorbidities and in the analysis of evidence-based recommendations for early interventions and treatment of these difficulties within the fields of neuropsychology, speech-language pathology, and educational psychology. Reading involves decoding and comprehension components, and to become efficient it requires a large number of cognitive and linguistic processes. Among those, decoding failures can have different origins, such as deficits in phonolog...
Why language ability remains resilient and how it shapes our lives. We acquire our native language, seemingly without effort, in infancy and early childhood. Language is our constant companion throughout our lifetime, even as we age. Indeed, compared with other aspects of cognition, language seems to be fairly resilient through the process of aging. In Changing Minds, Roger Kreuz and Richard Roberts examine how aging affects language—and how language affects aging. Kreuz and Roberts report that what appear to be changes in an older person's language ability are actually produced by declines in such other cognitive processes as memory and perception. Some language abilities, including vocab...
This Research Topic explores the processing of morphemes, the smallest units of language that bear meaning and that combine to form more complex words. The articles gathered under this Research Topic investigate typical and atypical morphological processing by children and adolescents in ten different languages. These articles provide cross-linguistic and cross-script evidence of the early sensitivity of children to the morphemic structure of words, irrespective of whether they are struggling readers or typically developing. All in all, the collection allows for a better understanding of how morphological processing skills develop, providing valuable clues as to how this competence can be used as a tool to improve literacy acquisition in struggling readers.
This handbook presents a state-of-the-art discussion of the psycholinguistic study of Korean.
Unlike most monographs on Spanish phonology and morphology that approach these topics from a structuralist or generativist framework, this volume is written from a less traditional point of view. More specifically, it emphasizes quantitative evidence from sources such as usage-based studies, psycholinguistic experiments, corpus data, and computer simulations. Arguments are presented to demonstrate that these kinds of evidence are crucial for establishing theories of language that relate to the psychological mechanisms involved in producing and comprehending speech, in contrast to theories about abstract linguistic structure. A range of topics is covered including morphological parsing, nominalization, stress, syllable structure, diphthongization, gender, morphophonemic alternations, and epenthesis. An appendix is included that serves as a primer on quantitative linguistic research. It discusses how some of the cited experiments were carried out, provides an introduction to statistical analysis, and discusses tools that are available for conducting quantitative research on the Spanish language.

"D'après l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, les troubles dyslexiques touchent de façon plus ou moins sévère de 8 à 12% de la population. En effet ces troubles persistent bien au-delà de l'enfance et de la scolarité. Or comme l'affirment le docteur J Martin et le professeur Colé : " Les déficits persistants en lecture des adultes dyslexiques les placent dans une situation de handicap. La présence de ces déficits souligne l'importance de la poursuite d'aménagements dans le cadre scolaire et universitaire pour les lecteurs dyslexiques. " Nombreux sont les dyslexiques adultes, et notamment les étudiants, même lorsqu'ils ont été pris en charge durant leur scolarité, qui manquent d'informations pour pallier leurs difficultés. Cet ouvrage réunit des conseils pratiques et un ensemble de témoignages pour faciliter leur études et les aider à affronter les difficultés rencontrées dans leur univers professionnel."--Page 4 de la couverture.
