Journal ArticleDOI
Can the Simple View Deal with the Complexities of Reading
John R. Kirby,Robert Savage +1 more
TL;DR: The Simple View of Reading (SVR) model as discussed by the authors is an abstract framework for understanding the relationship between global linguistic comprehension and word-reading abilities in reading comprehension (RC), which is helpful in conceptualising these broad skills and thus in planning for teaching and learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of the dopamine transporter (DAT1) 10/10-repeat genotype with ADHD symptoms and response inhibition in a general population sample
Kim Cornish,Tom Manly,Robert Savage,James M. Swanson,Dominique Morisano,N Butler,Cathy Grant,G Cross,L Bentley,Chris Hollis +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that DAT1 is a QTL for continuously distributed ADHD behaviours in the general population and the cognitive endophenotype of response inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of a highly specific relationship between rapid automatic naming of digits and text-reading speed.
Robert Savage,Norah Frederickson +1 more
TL;DR: This paper explores the specificity of the relationship between rapid automatic naming and reading fluency and suggests that rapid alphanumeric naming is a highly specific predictor of reading rate and that rapid digit naming and phonological processing are distinct contributors to different aspects of reading in poor readers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revisiting the simple view of reading
TL;DR: Factor Analysis of the diverse measures undertaken independently by two research teams in different countries demonstrated that listening comprehension and decoding measures loaded as distinct factors in both samples of young English-speaking children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships Among Rapid Digit Naming, Phonological Processing, Motor Automaticity, and Speech Perception in Poor, Average, and Good Readers and Spellers
TL;DR: The relationship between rapid automatized naming (RAN) and other cognitive processes among below-average, average, and above-average readers and spellers is explored.
