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. 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
4. Targeting and function of CAH1 : Characterization of a novel protein pathway to the plant cell chloroplast
Sammanfattning : The chloroplast is the organelle within a plant cell where photosynthesis takes place. This organelle originates from a cyanobacterium that was engulfed by a eukaryotic cell. LÄS MER
5. Reading for Life : Three Studies of Swedish Students’ Literacy Development
