Developmental language disorder and the ubiquity of language in the world – a commentary on Iverson & Williams (2026)
In their review article, Developmental Language Disorders: A Hidden Condition with Lifelong Impact , Iverson and Williams (2026) cover all the ground from the importance of language and its infusion across daily tasks to the characteristics, assessment and management of a neurodevelopmental condition known as Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The former is an important inclusion to understanding the impact of the latter, and so my commentary…
Writing strategies and SRSD in a Danish context – A pilot study
Writing skills are important for academic achievement. In the present pilot study, we aimed to investigate whether a four-week intervention period, three lessons a week, could improve students' writing skills, self-efficacy for writing, attitudes to writing, and implicit theories of writing, and to examine whether there was an association between these constructs and writing skills. Twenty-one 7th grade Danish students participated in the study. …
A Comparison of Different Methods for Measuring Individual Change in Kindergarten Children
Measuring progress in students is an important consideration when making decisions in education, clinical practice, and research. However, change due to learning over time at the group level cannot be applied to interpret individual change. Therefore, the current study compared four methods for measuring individual change: reliable change index controlling for practice effects (RCI), standardized individual difference (SID), estimated standardize…
Early cognitive predictors of language, literacy, and mathematics outcomes in the primary grades
Recently, cross-domain research has shown that some early predictors of language, reading, and mathematics overlap and predict one another. This study investigated how early cognitive predictors across domains could predict future academic skills across domains using data from 563 students in kindergarten to second grade (ages 5 to 8; 288 males; largely monolingual English). The roles of verbal, symbolic, and magnitude comparison skills as predic…
Comparing community-based reading interventions for middle school children with learning disabilities
Introduction There is an abundance of community-based reading programs for school-age children who are struggling learners. The aim of this study was to compare two community-based programs (i.e., skill and reason-based programs) and to analyze any complementary benefits. Methods In this randomized cross-over study, 20 children completed two 8-week literacy intervention programs. The skills-based program, Leap to Literacy , focused on explicit te…
The role of working memory loads on immediate and long-term sentence recall
It is well-established that both phonological and semantic knowledge influence verbal working memory. However, the focus has primarily been on understanding phonological effects despite evidence of semantic influences. Articulatory suppression is a well-established task for preventing phonological processing. Methods to prevent semantic processing have rarely been used in the past, highlighting a need for developing a semantic interference task. …
White matter correlates of reading subskills in children with and without reading disability
Cognitive and Linguistic Effects of Working Memory Training in Children With Corresponding Deficits
Working memory training has been found to result in improvements on tasks similar to those involved in the training (near transfer) but show limited impact on everyday skills such as language or academic abilities (far transfer). Previous research has largely focused on those with a broad range of skills, and examined group level responses. This study uses a single subject design to examine the effect of working memory training on both working me…
Is it a Small World After All? Investigating the Theoretical Structure of Working Memory Cross-Nationally
To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies to test different theoretical models of working memory in childhood based on a computerized assessment. We tested this across several countries: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Italy, and uk . The present study addressed the wider macro-cultural context and how this impacts working memory. We used two economic indices ( gdp and ppp ) to characterize the participating countries and ranked the countries…
Assessment Measures for Specific Language Impairment in Brazil
Informative and Inspirational Contributions of Exemplar Studies
The authors of this volume showcase the unique insights that can be gained from examining the lives of exemplars. For example, as individuals who stand out for living reflective, ethical lives, exemplars can reveal the human capacity to behave in exceptional ways despite most people's tendency to not exhibit these behaviors. The authors also discuss various advantages of the exemplar approach relative to the typical methods employed by social sci…
