Cognitive subtyping of university students with dyslexia in a semi-transparent ...
Faísca, Luís; Reis, Alexandra; Araújo, SusanaDevelopmental dyslexia is characterized by a profile of reading- and writing-related difficulties which stands out as a core deficit in phonological processing. Although these difficulties seem to persist into adulthood, it is still an open question to what extent they are immune, or not, to the extensive training resulting from extended schooling. The main objective of this study was to explore the heterogenei...

Does emotional valence modulate word recognition? A behavioral study manipulati...
Paulino, Catarina; Guerreiro, Milene; Faisca, Luis; Reis, AlexandraEffects of emotional valence have been observed in lexical decision tasks, suggesting that valence information modulates early word recognition. However, is still unclear the processing advantage of the different valence categories, and how these advantages might be modulated by word frequency and arousal. To clarify this question, a lexical decision task was designed using emotional words as stimuli. Emotional...
Predictors of adult spelling in an orthography of intermediate depth
Mesquita, Ana B.; Morais, Inês Salomé; Faisca, Luis; Reis, Alexandra; Castro, São LuísWhat is the hallmark of a good speller? Spelling is a critical component in learning to become literate, but how it works in literate adults remains poorly explored. We examined word and pseudoword spelling in 214 adults in relation to general cognitive abilities, vocabulary, reading history, reading performance, phonological processing and rapid automatized naming. We conducted hierarchical multiple regression...
Reading comprehension predictors in European Portuguese adults
Gonçalves, Fábio; Reis, Alexandra; Inácio, Filomena; Morais, Inês Salomé; Faisca, LuisResearch on the predictors of reading comprehension has been largely focused on school-aged children and mainly in opaque orthographies, hindering the generalization of the results to adult populations and more transparent orthographies. In the present study, we aim to test two versions of the Simple View of Reading (SVR): the original model and an extended version, including reading fluency and vocabulary. Add...
Reading and reading-related skills in adults with dyslexia from different ortho...
Reis, Alexandra; Araújo, Susana; Morais, Inês Salomé; Faísca, LuísAn individual diagnosed with dyslexia in childhood typically remains dyslexic throughout his/her life. However, the cognitive profile of adults with dyslexia has been less explored than that of children. This meta-analytic study is intended to clarify three questions: (1) To what extent, and in what manner, do adults with reading difficulties (dyslexia) differ from typical adult readers in measures of reading a...

Early Brain Sensitivity to Word Frequency and Lexicality During Reading Aloud a...
Faísca, Luís; Reis, Alexandra; Araújo, SusanaThe present study investigated the influence of lexical word properties on the early stages of visual word processing (<250 ms) and how the dynamics of lexical access interact with task-driven top-down processes. We compared the brain’s electrical response (event-related potentials, ERPs) of 39 proficient adult readers for the effects of word frequency and word lexicality during an explicit reading task versus ...
A aprendizagem implícita em crianças disléxicas
Inácio, Filomena; Faísca, Luís; Forkstam, Christian; Araújo, Susana; Bramão, Inês; Reis, Alexandra; Petersson, Karl MagnusThis study investigates the implicit sequence learning abilities of dyslexic children using an artificial grammar learning task and an extended exposure period. Twenty children with developmental dyslexia participated in the study and were matched with two control groups—one matched for age and the second for reading skills. During 3 days, all participants performed an acquisition task in which they were expose...
