New insights into the role of motion and form vision in neurodevelopmental disorders (2017)
Journal Article

A selective deficit in processing the global (overall) motion, but not form, of spatially extensive objects in the visual scene is frequently associated with several neurodevelopmental disorders, including preterm birth. Existing theories that propos... Read More about New insights into the role of motion and form vision in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Visual perception in dyslexia is limited by sub-optimal scale selection (2017)
Journal Article

Readers with dyslexia are purported to have a selective visual impairment but the underlying nature of the deficit remains elusive. Here, we used a combination of behavioural psychophysics and biologically-motivated computational modeling to investig...

Encoding of rapid time-varying information is impaired in poor readers (2017)
Journal Article

A characteristic set of eye movements and fixations are made during reading, so the position of words on the retinae is constantly being updated. Effective decoding of print requires this temporal stream of visual information to be segmented or parse... Read More about Encoding of rapid time-varying information is impaired in poor readers.

GreekLex 2: a comprehensive lexical database with part-of-speech, syllabic, phonological, and stress information (2017)
Journal Article

Databases containing lexical properties on any given orthography are crucial for psycholinguistic research. In the last ten years, a number of lexical databases have been developed for Greek. However, these lack important part-of-speech information.... Read More about GreekLex 2: a comprehensive lexical database with part-of-speech, syllabic, phonological, and stress information.

Closing the gap: efficacy of a tablet intervention to support the development of early mathematical skills in UK primary school children (2017)
Journal Article

The efficacy of a hand-held tablet technology intervention with learner-centred interactive software aimed at supporting the development of early maths skills was evaluated in four studies conducted in three UK primary schools. Immediate and sustaine... Read More about Closing the gap: efficacy of a tablet intervention to support the development of early mathematical skills in UK primary school children.
