  • General introduction to the special issue on resilience in learning

    Open AccessSietske van Viersen, Maria Psyridou et al.ARTICLELearning and Instruction2026

  • Understanding Reading Development

    Open AccessAndrea Salins, Daria Khanolainen et al.ARTICLEReading Research Quarterly2026

    Reading achievement is positively associated with reading engagement; however, reading anxiety may undermine this relationship by reinforcing avoidance behaviors and reducing engagement. This study investigated whether reading anxiety mediates the association between early reading fluency and later reading engagement, and whether child interest or parent importance value for reading moderate this relationship. The reading skills of approximately …

  • Directional associations in reading and arithmetic fluency development across grades 1 to 9

    Maria Psyridou, Asko Tolvanen et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2025Cited by: 1

    This study explores the directionality of the associations between silent reading fluency and arithmetic fluency development from Grade 1 through Grade 9 (ages 7 to 16) in a large Finnish sample of 2,518 participants. Participants' silent reading and arithmetic fluency skills were assessed at seven time points across Grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9. A random intercept cross-lagged panel model was employed to distinguish between between-person and …

  • Early prediction of math difficulties with the use of a neural networks model

    Maria Psyridou, Tuire Koponen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Educational Psychology2024

    The early prediction of math difficulties (MD) is important as it facilitates timely support. MD are multifaceted, and several factors are involved in their manifestation. This makes the accurate early prediction of MD particularly challenging. In the present study, we aim to predict MD in Grade 6 with kindergarten-age (age 6) measures by applying a neural networks model. We use a set of 49 variables assessed during kindergarten from the domains …

  • Developmental profiles of arithmetic fluency skills from grades 1 to 9 and their early identification

    Maria Psyridou, Minna Torppa et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2023References: 3

    The aim of the present study was to examine the kinds of developmental profiles of arithmetic fluency skills that can be identified across Grades 1-9 (ages 7-16) in a large Finnish sample ( n = 2,518). The study also examined whether membership in the developmental profiles could be predicted using a comprehensive set of kindergarten-age factors, including information on cognitive skills; motivational, parental, and home environment factors; and …

  • Developmental profiles of reading fluency and reading comprehension from grades 1 to 9 and their early identification

    Maria Psyridou, Asko Tolvanen et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2021Cited by: 5References: 2

    This study examined developmental profiles of reading fluency and reading comprehension in Grades 1 to 9 (ages 7 to 15) in a large Finnish sample ( N = 2,518). In addition, early predictors of the profiles were analyzed with respect to kindergarten cognitive skills (phonological awareness, letter knowledge, rapid automized naming [RAN], number counting, word reading, vocabulary, and listening comprehension), parental factors (level of education, …
