1. Varieties of reading disability : Phonological and orthographic word decoding deficits and implications for interventions
Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to examine variations in the word decoding skills of reading disabled children. These variations were related to possible cognitive, developmental, and environmental causes of reading disability. Possible implications for educational interventions were also analysed. LÄS MER
2. Early Predictors of Reading Comprehension Difficulties
Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to examine the cognitive and language profile in children with poor reading comprehension using a longitudinal perspective. Even though comprehension skills are closely connected to educational success, comprehension deficits in children have been neglected in reading research. LÄS MER
3. Early Elementary School Interventions in Reading and Mathematics
Sammanfattning : Supplemental special education support in reading and mathematics is essential for some children who struggle to learn basic reading or mathematics skills in their first years of schooling. Previous research shows that supplemental phonics and early numeracy and arithmetic instruction help students at risk for reading or mathematics difficulties. LÄS MER
4. Scripted knowledge packages : implicit and explicit constraints on comprehension and memory
Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was (a) to specify how the use of predictive inferences in comprehension is constrained by scripted knowledge packages, (b) to examine recall for scripted representations, and (c) to specify mechanisms underlying the interplay between script-based constraints on predictive inferences and memory for these generic knowledge representations. In fourteen experiments, lipreading represented a method to detect implicit and explicit constraints on predictive inferences imposed by typicality, abstraction, and temporal order. LÄS MER
5. LCA and LCCA in the design of geotechnical engineering works
Sammanfattning : Geotechnical engineering works are part of almost all construction and infrastructure projects. The geotechnical engineering work contributes to the impact on the environment and gives rise to costs throughout its life cycle. LÄS MER
