Article Synopsis
- The study aims to create tools for screening dyslexia in adults entering university by validating seven different tests, including reading and spelling assessments, and a self-report questionnaire.
- Researchers used machine learning techniques to determine the best combination and sequence of these tests for accurate dyslexia detection.
- Results showed that a combination of four specific tests could achieve about 90% accuracy in diagnosing dyslexia, highlighting a more efficient screening method with practical implications for both clinical and theoretical applications.
The Rubber Hand Illusion (RHI) arises through multisensory congruence and informative cues from the most relevant sensory channels. Some studies have explored the RHI phenomenon on the fingers, but none of them modulated the congruence of visuo-tactile and visuo-proprioceptive information by changing the posture of the fingers. This study hypothesizes that RHI induction is possible despite a partial visuo-proprioceptive or visuo-tactile incongruence.

Despite this, some adults with dyslexia successfully complete their university studies even though graduating from university involves intensive exposure to long and complex texts. This study examined the cognitive skills underlying both text reading comprehension and text reading fluency (TRF) in a sample of 54 university students with dyslexia and 63 university students without dyslexia, based on a set of tests adapted for an adult population, including listening comprehension, word reading, pseudoword reading (i.

In adults with dyslexia, despite the main consensus on their phonological processing deficits, little is known about the activation time course of this code. The present study investigated this issue in both populations.

- - The study tests the idea that letters enhance recognition of the first and last letters in words more than symbols do, based on their different serial position functions (W shape for letters vs. inverted V for symbols).
- - Researchers aimed to determine if the differences were due to visual memory processes rather than crowding effects, by using a method that eliminated short-term memory involvement.
- - Results showed that while letters produced clearer W shapes, symbols did not show the expected inverted V shape; differences decreased when using a precueing method, suggesting that previous findings may not indicate specialized processing for letters.
