Mar. 30, 2021 — Researchers have developed a model to help identify risk factors for reading difficulties in children before kindergarten ...
Mar. 11, 2021 — These findings clearly demonstrate how the cooperative areas of the brain responsible for reading skill are also at work during apparently unrelated activities, such as multiplication, suggest that ...
Nov. 17, 2020 — Learning a language later in life changes how the two halves of the brain contribute. As skills improve, language comprehension changes hemisphere specialization, but production does not, according ...
Oct. 1, 2019 — A team of New Jersey stroke researchers has linked recovery of reading and language competence with cerebral blood flow in the left reading network. Their findings may contribute to new approaches to ...
Aug. 28, 2019 — Neuroscientists were able to prove that speech recognition in humans begins in the sensory pathways from the ear to the cerebral cortex and not, as previously assumed, exclusively in the cerebral ...
Aug. 19, 2019 — Neuroscientists have created interactive maps that can predict where different categories of words activate the brain. Their latest map is focused on what happens in the brain when you read ...
July 7, 2019 — The positive effects of a rich home learning environment during a child's early years continue into adolescence and help improve test scores later in life, according to a new ...
May 13, 2019 — Could artificial intelligence be a solution for people who cannot read well (functional illiterates) or those who cannot read at all (complete illiterates)? According to psycholinguists, speech ...
May 2, 2019 — A new study offers clues for interventions to help young cancer survivors with severe hearing loss master ...
Feb. 26, 2019 — Neuroscientist show that people with dyslexia have a weakly developed structure that is not located in the cerebral cortex, but at a subcortical processing stage; namely the white matter connectivity ...
Jan. 15, 2019 — A neuroimaging study could help develop tests for early identification of ...
Jan. 14, 2019 — Men with dyslexia have altered structural connections between the thalamus and auditory cortex on the left side of the brain, new research reveals. The study extends similar observations of the ...
Oct. 23, 2018 — A gene associated with dyslexia, a learning disorder, may make some athletes less susceptible to concussions, reports a new study. This is believed to be the first time that this gene has been ...
Sep. 30, 2018 — Scientists using machine learning -- a type of artificial intelligence -- with data from hundreds of children who struggle at school, identified clusters of learning difficulties which did not match ...
July 24, 2018 — A new joint study identifies the brain mechanism that accounts for the discrepancy between low decoding skills and high reading comprehension in some children with ...
June 25, 2018 — Researchers have found that piano lessons have a specific effect on kindergartners' ability to distinguish different pitches, which translates into an improvement in discriminating between ...
June 19, 2018 — Education professors have shown that a comprehension-based strategy can help English learners improve their math word-problem solving abilities. The approach boosts reading comprehension and problem ...
June 14, 2018 — Using MRI measurements of the brain's neural connections, or 'white matter,' researchers have shown that, in struggling readers, the neural circuitry strengthened -- and their reading ...
May 24, 2018 — Researchers found that a child's ability to self-regulate is a critical element in childhood language and literacy development, and that the earlier they can hone these skills, the faster ...
