  • The Covid generation

    Open AccessCara Verwimp, Anniek Vaessen et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Dyslexia2024

    Due to pandemic-induced lockdown(s) in 2020, dyslexia treatment was forced to move to online platforms. This study examined whether Dutch children who received online treatment progressed as much in their reading and spelling performance as children who received the usual face-to-face treatment. To this end, 254 children who received treatment-as-usual were compared to 162 children who received online treatment with Bayesian methods. The advantag…

  • Developing and validating an abbreviated adult reading history questionnaire in the Finnish and Dutch contexts

    Open AccessDaria Khanolainen, Cara Verwimp et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Reading2024

    Background The adult reading history questionnaire (ARHQ) is frequently used in research on adult dyslexia and family risk for dyslexia. However, this measure is lengthy (23 items), reducing its applicability in studies with extensive assessment batteries. Methods We identified the best‐performing ARHQ items in a sample of 396 Finnish adults using exploratory factor analysis and item response theory. Consequently, we validated the brief questionn…

  • Goal-directedness enhances letter-speech sound learning and consolidation in an unknown orthography

    Open AccessCara Verwimp, Patrick Snellings et al.ARTICLEChild Development2023

    This study examined how top-down control influenced letter-speech sound (L-SS) learning, the initial phase of learning to read. In 2020, 107 Dutch children (53 boys, M age = 106.845 months) learned eight L-SS correspondences, either preceded by goal-directed or implicit instructions. Symbol knowledge and artificial word-reading ability were assessed immediately after learning and on the subsequent day to examine the effect of sleep. Goal-directed…

  • English Grammar Skills in Dutch Grade 4 Children

    Open AccessMargreet Van Koert, Nihayra Leona et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psycholinguistic…2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 55

    Second language proficiency may be related to first language acquisition (Ganschow & Sparks, 1991), but relatively little is known about the relation between first and second language grammatical proficiency in primary school children who are in their first stages of foreign language learning. This study aims to determine whether differences in Dutch and English vocabulary and Dutch grammar skills predict differences in English grammatical profic…

  • Explaining individual differences in young English language learners’ vocabulary knowledge

    Open AccessNihayra L Leona, Margreet J H van Koert et al.ARTICLESystem2020Citada por: 7Referencias: 2

    The role of motivation and extramural English exposure in explaining individual differences in young English language learners’ (YELLs’) English performance is unclear. In this study, we hypothesized that different types of extramural English exposure predict YELLs’ (Dutch, N = 262, 10 years old, grade 4) oral and written English receptive vocabulary knowledge, and that motivational factors act as mediators. A distinction was made between YELLs l…
