Are Linguistic Prediction Deficits Characteristic of Adults with Dyslexia?
Individuals with dyslexia show deficits in phonological abilities, rapid automatized naming, short-term/working memory, processing speed, and some aspects of sensory and visual processing.

Postural instability in a young dyslexic adult improved by Hebbian pulse-width modulated lighting [PDF]
Postural stability is linked to vision in everyone, since when the eyes are closed stability decreases by a factor of 2 or more. However, in persons with dyslexia postural stability is often deficient even when the eyes are open, since they show deficits in motor as well as specific cognitive functions. In dyslexics we have shown that abnormal symmetry

Distributed leadership in action: Different manifestations and what they require from school leaders
Abstract Distributed leadership is currently the most studied leadership model in education. This study posits that there is not a single best model or blueprint for distributed leadership, but that schools should foster manifestations of distributed leadership to support professional development and school improvement.

Integrating large language models and active inference to understand eye movements in reading and dyslexia [PDF]
We present a novel computational model employing hierarchical active inference to simulate reading and eye movements. The model characterizes linguistic processing as inference over a hierarchical generative model, facilitating predictions and inferences at various levels of granularity, from syllables to sentences.

A Neural Approach to Ordinal Regression for the Preventive Assessment of Developmental Dyslexia [PDF]
Developmental Dyslexia (DD) is a learning disability related to the acquisition of reading skills that affects about 5% of the population. DD can have an enormous impact on the intellectual and personal development of affected children, so early detection is key to implementing preventive strategies for teaching language.

Widening participation in outward student mobility: Successes, challenges and opportunities
Abstract This article utilises data obtained through evaluation processes at Northumbria University to contribute to the emerging discourse on widening participation and outward student mobility. The rationale behind the study stems from the significant financial and non‐financial benefits associated with higher education and the UK's ongoing efforts ...

The role of vocabulary components in second language learners' early reading comprehension
Background In countries with German as an official language, children with German as a second language perform overall worse in school than their German native speaking peers. This particularly affects written language skills, which require advanced language knowledge.

Background Previous studies have shown that undergraduates improve their answering and monitoring accuracy when they exclusively practice and expect inferential questions after reading. This study examined whether children with poor comprehension, who struggle particularly with inferential questions, would benefit from similar practice with and without
