CogRead

Executive function and reading acquisition: A developmental approach
Acronym

CogRead

Description

The present project tackles important timely questions related to the implication of cognitive control skills in the development of language and reading abilities and in the emergence of specific difficulties identified in children with SLI and dyslexia. Cognitive control skills are important indicators for a child’s potential to develop activation/selection mechanisms that are key for language and reading development. Specifically, longitudinal studies are lacking that explore how cognitive control abilities modulate children’s ability to monitor and select spoken and written information and how this affects the developmental trajectory of reading in children with and without language and reading impairments. Our project “CogRead” will increase knowledge about literacy development by addressing the relation between language and reading and by exploring the role of cognitive control skills in the developmental pathway of language and reading subskills in typically developing children and children with language and reading disorders. Given that between 8 to 15% of the population experience language and/reading difficulties, identifying early markers and providing suitable and timely intervention becomes of great importance.
