Subclaims¶

q3 i? DYS children were more impacted by word graphic complexity (simple vs. difficult) than both CA and SA children in handwriting performance. → Gosse 2020

Evidence¶

Gosse 2020¶

Gosse, C., & Van Reybroeck, M. (2020). Do children with dyslexia present a handwriting deficit? Impact of word orthographic and graphic complexity on handwriting and spelling performance. Research in Developmental Disabilities, 97(1), 14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ridd.2019.103553

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Group-by-complexity interaction in the General Linear Mixed Model analysis of the tablet dictation task: the article reports that "the DYS children were more impacted by the graphic complexity of words than both the CA and SA children". No effect size is printed for this interaction.

"However, the DYS children were more impacted by the graphic complexity of words than both the CA and SA children."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Learning Disabilities and Developmental Differences — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it

• Children with dyslexia show no global handwriting-quality deficit relative to chronological-age and spelling-age matched typically developing children — related
• Prior research indicates children with dyslexia frequently show poor and slow handwriting skills, but the cause remained unclear — related
• Readers with developmental dyslexia show better spelling and nonword-image association performance when novel words are learned through typing rather than handwriting — related
