🚀 New paper & press release! 🧬📖 🧮 Our large-scale study (20,000 children) shows that #ADHD, #dyslexia, and #dyscalculia often co-occur due to shared genetic risk—not because one condition causes the other. doi.org/10.1177/0956... (1/5)

📢 Children's word #reading skills are linked to the number of books at home and mother-child reading activities—even after accounting for parental reading skills as a proxy for genetic influences. 🧬📚 🔗 Read more: doi.org/10.1111/jcpp... 🧵👇1/6

Causality is a challenge in human neuroscience and intervention studies are few and far between. Though not a RCT, the longitudinal intervention design from @jamielmitchell.bsky.social offers insights into the balance between stability and plasticity in dyslexia www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Understanding the balance between plastic and persistent traits in the dyslexic brain is critical for developing effective interventions. This longitudinal intervention study examines the Visual Word ...

We are a team of researchers from University of Amsterdam and VU Amsterdam studying High Dosage Tutoring (HDT) to tackle achievement gaps in low-SES students. Our Cluster RCT explores HDT’s effects on math skills & self-beliefs. Let’s connect on education inequalities, achievement gaps, HDT, & more!
