Good And Poor Readers

Studies of music reading are reviewed with respect to two principal questions: (1) What differences are there between the reading processes of good and poor readers? and (2) To what extent is musical knowledge implicated in reading for performance? The evidence reviewed shows (1) a typical "skill effect" such that better readers have better visual memories for notation and show more sensitivity to structural configurations in the stimuli and (2) that much of what is read is analyzed for musical significance prior to the formulation of motor commands for response. Music reading is in this respect, despite its atypical input modality, a true species of music perception.

Good And Poor Readers

The Boder Test of Reading-Spelling Patterns (Boder & Jarrico, 1982) is a widely used method for screening and defining reading problems at the level of the word. In order to apply this method in another language, in this case French, criteria for determining what constitutes a good phonetic equivalent for a misspelled word are required. It is essential to know which errors differentiate good and poor readers since errors that are commonly made by good readers are not diagnostic. This paper reports guidelines which have been developed by analyzing spelling errors in a sample of good and poor French immersion readers. These criteria for good phonetic equivalents can be applied, along with the method outlined in the Boder test manual, and used as an assessment tool for screening decoding and encoding problems in French immersion children. When used in conjunction with the English test, the assessment provides bilingual comparisons and guidelines for remedial programming.

Straipsnyje pristatomas rašytinio teksto suvokimo tyrimas, atliktas dviem etapais tikrinant suaugusiųjų (aukštosios mokyklos studentų) skaitymo ir kognityvinės veiklos gebėjimus. Pirmajame tyrimo etape visi tiriamieji (N = 40) atliko tris teksto suvokimo ir tris kognityvinės veiklos užduotis. Remiantis gautais rezultatais, buvo sudarytos dvi grupės (gerai ir silpnai suvokusiųjų rašytinį tekstą) tiriamųjų antrajam tyrimo etapui. Jo metu, pasitelkus reikšminių žodžių metodą, buvo toliau tiriamas rašytinės kalbos suvokimas. Tyrimas atskleidė, kad skaitymo užduoties pobūdis lemia konkrečios skaitymo strategijos būtinumą. Kadangi šios strategijos skirtingų skaitytojų nevienodai išlavintos, skiriasi tiek to paties skaitytojo gebėjimas vienodai sėkmingai įveikti skirtingas skaitymo užduotis, tiek skirtingų skaitytojų gebėjimas vienodai sėkmingai įveikti tą pačią skaitymo užduotį. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad gerai ir silpnai suvokiantys rašytinį tekstą tiriamieji statistiškai reikšmingai skiriasi ir kognityvinių išteklių valdymo rezultatais; tai leidžia daryti išvadą, kad tam tikrų kognityvinių išteklių stoka arba netinkamas valdymas lemia žemus rašytinio teksto suvokimo rezultatus. Tyrimas atliktas testuojant rusakalbius tiriamuosius, tačiau jo rezultatai aktualūs ir lietuvių mokslininkams bei praktikams, kurių profesinė veikla susijusi su rašytinės kalbos ugdymu, skaitymo sutrikimų diagnostika ir korekcija.Abstract in English

Good And Poor Readers

Our previous study demonstrated a physiologic deficit in two-tone discrimination in poor readers. 1 This was specific to the left parietal area suggesting that poor readers handled rapid tones differently. The current paper extends this finding in the same population, demonstrating that poor readers also have difficulty with phonemic discrimination. Long latency auditory evoked potentials (AEP) were formed using a phonemic discrimination task in a group of children with reading disabilities and controls. Measuring peak-to-peak amplitude of the waveforms, we found reduced N1-P2 amplitude in the Poor Reader group. Using the t-statistic significance probability map (SPM) technique, we also found a group difference, maximal over the mid-parietal area, from 584 msec to 626 msec after the stimulus onset. This difference was due to a lower amplitude on the Poor Reader group. We hypothesized that this late difference constitutes a P3 response and that the Poor Reader group generated smaller P3 waves. These auditory evoked response (AER) data support a discrimination deficit for close phonemes in the Poor Reader group as they had smaller N1-P2 absolute amplitude and developed smaller P3 waves. Based on these data we should be able to differentiate between Good and Poor readers based on long latency potentials created from phonemic stimuli.

Kinesthetic Information

Abstract This target article draws together two groups of experimental studies on the control of human movement through peripheral feedback and centrally generated signals of motor commands. First, during natural movement, feedback from muscle, joint, and cutaneous afferents changes; in human subjects these changes have reflex and kinesthetic consequences. Recent psychophysical and microneurographic evidence suggests that joint and even cutaneous afferents may have a proprioceptive role. Second, the role of centrally generated motor commands in the control of normal movements and movements following acute and chronic deafferentation is reviewed. There is increasing evidence that subjects can perceive their motor commands under various conditions, but that this is inadequate for normal movement; deficits in motor performance arise when the reliance on proprioceptive feedback is abolished either experimentally or because of pathology. During natural movement, the CNS appears to have access to functionally useful input from a range of peripheral receptors as well as from internally generated command signals. The unanswered questions that remain suggest a number of avenues for further research.
