The ability to identify letters and encode their position is a crucial step of the word recognition process. However and despite their word identification problem, the ability of dyslexic children to encode letter identity and letter-position within strings was not systematically investigated. This study aimed at filling this gap and further explored how letter identity and letter-position enco...

This study suggests that familiarity and novelty preferences in infant experimental tasks can in some instances be interpreted together as a single indicator of language advance. We provide evidence to support this idea based on our use of the auditory headturn preference paradigm to record responses to words likely to be either familiar or unfamiliar to infants. Fifty-nine 10-month-old infants...

We reviewed five studies that relied on the same methodologies to determine the prevalence ofPhonological, Surface and Double-Deficit-Subtypes in developmental dyslexia. The proportion ofthese subtypes was found to vary according to the method (classical method or regressionmethod), the measure (accuracy or processing time), the dyslexics’ language (English or French)and their c...

OBJECTIVE Several cutoff points of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; varying from 2.5 to 4.0) have been suggested for diagnosing IR in youth. In this study, we determined the distribution of the HOMA-IR in Mexican children and adolescents. DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 6132 children and adolescents from San Luis Potosi, León, Queretaro, and Durango, which are ci...
