- Investigating Dyslexia through Diffusion Tensor Imaging across Ages: A Systematic Reviewby Bruce Martins on April 27, 2024
Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that presents a deficit in accuracy and/or fluency while reading or spelling that is not expected given the level of cognitive functioning. Research indicates brain structural changes mainly in the left hemisphere, comprising arcuate fasciculus (AF) and corona radiata (CR). The purpose of this systematic review is to better understand the possible methods for analyzing Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) data while accounting for the characteristics of...
- Exploring Spanish writing abilities of children with developmental language disorder in expository textsby Raquel Balboa-Castells on April 26, 2024

English is characterized by complex phonological structure, opaque orthography, poor morphology and strict word order. The aim of this research is to...
- Acoustic Analyses of Tone Productions in Sequencing Contexts Among Cantonese-Speaking Preschool Children With and Without Childhood Apraxia of Speechby Eddy C H Wong on April 25, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that Cantonese-speaking children with CAS had difficulty in varying F0 within syllables as compared to those without CAS, suggesting pitch variation difficulty and language-specific impairment profiles in CAS. Future investigations of objective measures for identifying Cantonese speakers with CAS and cross-linguistic investigations using growth curve analysis and the TST are suggested.
