Subcortical correlates of developmental language disorder: more than the neostriatum Open
Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects receptive and expressive language skills. In contrast to the wealth of evidence on acquired language disorders, we understand relatively little abou…

Toward an Improved Understanding of Dyslexia: Reflections on a New Consensus Definition and Its Implications Open
Inconsistencies in the definition and diagnosis of dyslexia continue to impede research, assessment, and intervention. This paper, authored by members of the UK Specific Learning Difficulties Network, critically examines a recent effort to…

Progress and perspectives on developmental language and reading disorders Open
Why do some children learn to read or talk more easily than others? We review recent advances in genetics, neuroscience, cognition, and intervention research. About half of the variation in language and reading outcomes is explained by gen…

Providing choice enhances reading motivation Open
Multiple literacy programmes embed a choice of reading material into their programmes, as this is believed to enhance motivation for reading. Yet, this practice has not been experimentally evaluated. Is choice effective at boosting reading…

The Implications of the Spiritual and Mental Wellness of Yoga Philosophy. An Epistemological Approach Open
Yoga is an ancient and complex practice, rooted in Indian Philosophy. It began as a spiritual practice but has become popular as a way of promoting physical and well-being. Yoga is essentially spiritual and it is an art and science of heal…

Intrinsic Reward Modulates Word Learning in both Oral and Written Contexts Open
Previous studies show that word learning from context can be intrinsically rewarding, even in the absence of external feedback or incentives. Intrinsic reward activates the brain’s reward-memory circuit, leading to enhanced memory for word…

Investigating Reading Enjoyment in Adults With Dyslexia Open
Previous studies have suggested that adults with dyslexia do not enjoy reading, based on data from trait‐based questionnaires. This study uses state‐based measures of reading to offer greater insight into different aspects of motivation, i…

An fMRI study of initiation and inhibition of manual and spoken responses in people who stutter Open
Stuttering is characterised by difficulties initiating speech and frequent interruptions to the flow of speech. Neuroimaging studies of speech production in people who stutter consistently reveal greater activity of the right inferior fron…

Cognitive Reappraisal Reduces Academic Anxiety in University Students With Dyslexia Open
University students with dyslexia have greater anxiety than their peers without dyslexia, especially related to their academic studies. Most universities focus on mitigating the learning needs of these students, for example, providing more…

The role of intrinsic reward in adolescent word learning Open
Relatively little work has focused on why we are motivated to learn words. In adults, recent experiments have shown that intrinsic reward signals accompany successful word learning from context. In addition, the experience of reward facili…

Microstructural Properties of the Cerebellar Peduncles in Children With Developmental Language Disorder Open
Children with developmental language disorder (DLD) struggle to learn their native language for no apparent reason. While research on the neurobiological underpinnings of the disorder has focused on the role of corticostriatal systems, lit…

Differences in Cortical Surface Area in Developmental Language Disorder Open
Approximately 7% of children have developmental language disorder (DLD), a neurodevelopmental condition associated with persistent language learning difficulties without a known cause. Our understanding of the neurobiological basis of DLD …

Using a willingness to wait design to assess how readers value text Open
What affects moment-to-moment motivation to read? Existing reading motivation questionnaires are trait-based and not well suited to capturing the dynamic, situational influences of text or social context. Drawing on the decision science li…

An empirical assessment of how readers value text: an adaption of the willingness-to-wait paradigm Open
Print experience is critical for becoming a skilled reader and leisure reading is a major source of print experience. Therefore, it is important that we understand what motivates individuals to read in their leisure time. Existing question…

Susceptibility to auditory hallucinations is associated with spontaneous but not directed modulation of top-down expectations for speech Open
Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs)—or hearing voices—occur in clinical and non-clinical populations, but their mechanisms remain unclear. Predictive processing models of psychosis have proposed that hallucinations arise from an over-wei…
