Dr. Eide's Neurolearning blog had a great week of blog entries related to domains we frequently test in our standard psychoeducational batteries.
Reading Between the Lines & Working Memory
A great little post that looks at how Working Memory demands and deficits can negatively effect performance on a students ability to work with inferences. The post provides some compelling evidence that could effect interpretation of things like Reading Comprehension (WIAT-II), etc. (CLICK HERE).
Normal Developmental Increases in Visual Spatial Memory
Just a brief overview of an article (see the bottom of the Eide post for the original article from UofT) discussing normal developmental curves for visual spatial development and the ability to overcome deficits using verbal strategies. The results will certainly help support your CMS, WRAML-2, and Beery interpretations. (CLICKING HERE).
Fluent Reading
Another interesting post, this time on neural relationships with reading fluency. Noting earth shattering but an interesting read and overview none the less. (CLICK HERE).
