Writing in Elementary Students With Language-Based Learning Disabilities: A Pilot Study to Examine Feasibility and Promise.

PURPOSE: Although children with language-based learning disabilities (LLD) demonstrate significant difficulties with writing, empirical evidence to support interventions is sparse. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility and promise of a writing intervention for fourth- and fifth-grade students with LLD (WILLD: writing in students with LLD). The intervention components included word-, sentence-, and discourse-level writing processes and instructional practices using self-regulation strategies. METHOD: Participants for this study were 15 students with LLD, rec…

Are Written Syntax Features Related to Writing Quality? An Examination of Spanish and English Compositions by Bilingual Children.

PURPOSE: There is limited research on the writing of young Spanish-English bilinguals and their writing in both languages. In the current study, we addressed whether written syntax features differed by language (English and Spanish) and varied as a function of grade level, English learner status, and instructional program (dual or English immersion). We also examined whether Spanish and English syntax features were related cross-linguistically and related to writing quality within languages and whether these relations to writing quality were moderated by grade level, English learner status, an…

Using a digital spelling aid to improve writing in persons with post-stroke aphasia: An intervention study.

A universal reading network and its modulation by writing system and reading ability in French and Chinese children.

Are the brain mechanisms of reading acquisition similar across writing systems? And do similar brain anomalies underlie reading difficulties in alphabetic and ideographic reading systems? In a cross-cultural paradigm, we measured the fMRI responses to words, faces, and houses in 96 Chinese and French 10-year-old children, half of whom were struggling with reading. We observed a reading circuit which was strikingly similar across languages and consisting of the left fusiform gyrus, superior temporal gyrus/sulcus, precentral and middle frontal gyri. Activations in some of these areas were modula…

Present and past: Can writing abilities in school children be associated with their auditory discrimination capacities in infancy?

Literacy acquisition is highly associated with auditory processing abilities, such as auditory discrimination. The event-related potential Mismatch Response (MMR) is an indicator for cortical auditory discrimination abilities and it has been found to be reduced in individuals with reading and writing impairments and also in infants at risk for these impairments. The goal of the present study was to analyze the relationship between auditory speech discrimination in infancy and writing abilities at school age within subjects, and to determine when auditory speech discrimination differences, rele…

[Do children with cochlear implants read or write differently?: literacy acquisition after cochlear implantation].

BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that literacy acquisition in hearing impaired children is frequently hampered, reading and writing competences continue not to be regularly evaluated and documented in children fitted with cochlear implants (CI). In this 2-year longitudinal study literacy acquisition in children fitted with CI was investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In total, 18 pre- and primary school children fitted with CI who had suffered prelingual deafness were examined. Subjects' ages at CI fitting ranged from 0.9 to 5.9 years; they were raised orally and monolingual German and showed norma…

The reading of scientific texts: questions on interpretation and evaluation, with special reference to the scientific writings of Ludwik Fleck.

Ludwik Fleck is remembered for his monograph published in German in 1935. Reissued in 1979 as Genesis and development of a scientific fact Fleck's monograph has been claimed to expound relativistic views of science. Fleck has also been portrayed as a prominent scientist. The description of his production of a vaccine against typhus during World War II, when imprisoned in Buchenwald, is legendary in the scholarly literature. The claims about Fleck's scientific achievements have been justified by referring to his numerous publications in international scientific journals. Though frequently menti

Writing, calculating, and finger recognition in the region of the angular gyrus: a cortical stimulation study of Gerstmann syndrome.

OBJECT: In an attempt to gain a better understanding of the cerebral functions represented in the angular gyrus and to spare them during surgery, the authors studied patients with brain tumors located close to the angular gyrus and mapped cortical sites by using electrostimulation. METHODS: Before undergoing tumor removal, six right-handed patients (five with left and one with right hemisphere tumors) were studied using cortical mapping with the aid of calculating, writing, finger-recognition, and color-naming tasks in addition to standard reading and object-naming tasks (for a total of 36 br…

Sjögren's syndrome: viewpoint on pathogenesis. One of the reasons I was never asked to write a textbook chapter on it.

OBJECTIVE: To critically consider the public opinion/consensus on SS formulated by opinion leaders and textbook chapters. RATIONALE: Although our clinical work is based on evidence-based medicine, it is obvious that we do not have evidence-based solutions to the etiology and pathogenesis of autoimmune rheumatic diseases. In spite of this, consensus if often taken as a truth, which may hamper the production, funding and/or publication of new and original ideas and views. METHODS: Comparison of the classic view with one of the many other possible views. RESULTS: The consensus view states that

'AI-Learner Partnership': Psychological mechanisms and developmental trajectories of EFL learners' writing agency in GenAI-assisted courses.

This study explores how EFL learners construct, negotiate, and develop writing agency through engagement with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in second language writing courses. GenAI is conceptualized as a cultural mediational means within an integrated sociocultural and positive psychological framework. Eleven Chinese EFL university students were followed over a 16-week semester as they completed multiple academic writing tasks with GenAI support. Drawing on a qualitative multi-method design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, screen recordings of writing sess…

From automated scoring to learning diagnosis: a mechanism study of AI-supported formative assessment in English writing.

INTRODUCTION: AI-supported writing assessment can provide rapid scores and issue-level comments, yet its formative value depends on how students and teachers interpret and act on that information. This study examined this process in a university English writing course. METHODS: Two pre-existing intact classes comprising 96 students (48 per class) completed three writing-feedback-revision cycles. The Control class received AI scores/standard feedback, routine teacher checking, and revision. The Diagnostic Review class received DeepSeek-R1 issue-level diagnoses, completed an interpretation shee…

Unlocking the core revision of writing assessment: EFL learner' emotional transformation from form focus to content orientation.

BACKGROUND: The process of revising writing has provided valuable insights into both learners' written output and their cognitive processes during revision. Research has acknowledged the emotional dimension of writing revision, yet no studies have delved into models that connect all of these domains. Given the interplay between these domains, it is crucial to explore potential associations between writing revision and writing quality in terms of emotions. PURPOSE: This study aims to shed light on the emotional shifts that occur as learners transition from a focus on form to an emphasis on con…

Comparative research on neural dysfunction in children with dyslexia under different writing systems: A meta-analysis study.

Developmental dyslexia is a special learning disorder which is prevalent in all languages. A central question in dyslexia is whether the neural mechanism of their defects is universal or distinct in different writing systems. Using meta-analytic approach, we created meta-images using activation abnormalities in Chinese and alphabetic children with dyslexia to find convergence and divergence under different writing systems. The results revealed that dyslexic children have a universal attention-related dysfunction with hypoactivation in the left inferior frontal cortex (IFC) and the anterior cin…

Training Positive Rumination in Expressive Writing to Enhance Psychological Adjustment and Working Memory Updating for Maladaptive Ruminators.
