Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? The typical reader group was faster to respond than the dyslexic group, responses were slower as presentation rates increased, and the Group X Condition interaction was not significant for reaction time. → Christodoulou JA 2014
Evidence¶
Christodoulou JA 2014¶
Christodoulou JA, Del Tufo SN, Lymberis J, Saxler PK, Ghosh SS, et al. (2014) Brain Bases of Reading Fluency in Typical Reading and Impaired Fluency in Dyslexia. PLoS ONE 9(7): e100552. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0100552
q3 · i? · causal · r1
A 3x2 repeated measures ANOVA on in-scanner reaction time found significant main effects of Group and Condition, but the Group X Condition interaction was not significant (p = .15). Groups also did not differ on rates of response across conditions.
"The typical reader group was faster to respond than the dyslexic group as indicated by a significant main effect for Group [F(1,22) = 9.76, p,.005]. Responses were slower as presentation rates increased as shown by a significant main effect of Condition [F(2,21) = 49.06, p,.0001]. The Group X Condition interaction was not significant [F(2,21) = 2.10, p = .15]"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Group differences in activation are more extensive when behavioral performance is equated across groups, indicating they are not a consequence of worse performance — related
- In-scanner sentence judgment accuracy declines with faster word presentation rates, and dyslexic readers' accuracy declines disproportionately across rates — related
- Typical readers show significantly greater rate-related activation gains than dyslexic readers in left prefrontal and left superior temporal regions — related
- Individuals with dyslexia show impairments in audiovisual integration beyond phoneme-grapheme mapping — related
- Adolescents with ADHD respond more slowly than non-ADHD peers across all conditions, and color-shape binding slows responses in both groups — related
- Individuals with schizophrenia show reduced behavioral benefit from combined audiovisual cues and altered multisensory temporal processing — related
- In-scanner sentence judgment accuracy correlates significantly with standardized reading fluency and phonological awareness scores across both groups — related
