Implicit learning of non-linguistic and linguistic regularities in children with dyslexia.

One of the hallmarks of dyslexia is the failure to automatise written patterns despite repeated exposure to print. Although many explanations have been proposed to explain this problem, researchers have recently begun to explore the possibility that an underlying implicit learning deficit may play a role in dyslexia. This hypothesis has been investigated through non-linguistic tasks exploring implicit learning in a general domain.

Accuracy of a novel auto-CPAP device to evaluate the residual apnea-hypopnea index in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Background: Patients under treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may have residual sleep apnea (RSA).

Objective: The main objective of our study was to evaluate a novel auto-CPAP for the diagnosis of RSA.

Methods: All patients referred to the sleep laboratory to undergo CPAP polysomnography were evaluated.

Implicit Learning of Written Regularities and Its Relation to Literacy Acquisition in a Shallow Orthography.

Some research on literacy acquisition suggests that implicit learning processes may be related to reading and writing proficiency in English, which is a deep orthography. However, little research has been done to determine if the same is true in shallow orthographies. Here, we investigated whether the implicit learning ability of third grade Spanish speaking children was related to their reading and writing abilities.
