Impact of Education and Music Training on the Development of Abstract Thinking in the First Years of Schooling
Plato’s Republic, Einstein’s Theory of relativity, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons are all remarkable examples of humans’ unique ability to create and manipulate complex abstract structures, whether in language, mathematics, or music. Yet the mechanisms by which children develop such abstract thinking, and the role of education and structured experiences such as musical practice in shaping these abilities remains unclear. To explore these questions, we co…
Mariette
Dyslexia is a multifaceted condition with diverse manifestations, yet assessment tools too often target limited subtypes, creating diagnostic gaps. This study examines the progression of dyslexia-related reading errors across primary school in typically developing readers, using the Mariette, a French nonsense-text reading screener. Analysis of 812 French children (grades 1-5) revealed systematic decreases in error rates with age, following disti…
Bridging the Gap in Brazilian Literacy
A significant portion of Brazilian students fail to meet basic reading standards. The 2017 National Common Curricular Base (NCCB) marked a pivotal effort by the government to prioritize recognizing phonics in early reading instruction. However, the NCCB lacked clear directives for implementation, resulting in limited adoption in classrooms where teachers were accustomed to constructivist approaches to literacy. To address this shortcoming, we ada…
Examining the Impact of Reading Fluency on Lexical Decision Results in French 6th Graders
Purpose: How does lexical decision behavior vary in students with the same grade level (all students were in their first year of middle-school), but different levels of reading fluency? Here, we tested a prediction of the dual-route model: as fluency increases, variations in the results may reflect a decreasing reliance on decoding and an increasing reliance on the lexical route. Method: 1,501 French 6th graders passed a one-minute speeded readin…
