Advancements in Identification and Risk Prediction of Reading Disabilities.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Scientific Studies of Reading. Jan/Feb2023, Vol. 27 Issue 1, p1-4. 4p.
Abstract: For example, instead of conceptualizing family risk as a dichotomous variable or even as a continuous in the form of an additive polygenic risk score, machine learning models may be capable of analyzing molecular genetic data at the level of thousands ...
What Reading-Level Match Design Reveals about Specific Reading Disability in a Transparent Orthography and How Much We Can Trust It.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Scientific Studies of Reading. Mar/Apr2023, Vol. 27 Issue 2, p101-118. 18p.
Abstract: To assess strengths and weaknesses of the reading level (RL) match approach and its potential to generate insights regarding the cognitive foundations of reading ability and disability. We applied RL-match design to a sample of 2nd – 6th graders readin...

Exploring the Machine Learning Paradigm in Determining Risk for Reading Disability.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Scientific Studies of Reading. Jan/Feb2023, Vol. 27 Issue 1, p5-20. 16p.
Abstract: Researchers have developed a constellation model of decoding-related reading disabilities (RD) to improve the RD risk determination. The model's hallmark is its inclusion of various RD indicators to determine RD risk. Classification methods such as log...
