The Bergen Longitudinal Dyslexia Study

Hypotheses

The project started out with a number of hypotheses.

Main content

  • at-risk children selected by questionnaires to parents and pre-school teachers would show a cognitive profile different from control children, and that the children showing early signs of dyslexia would profit from specific training.
  • changes in language functions in the brain would be seen in accordance with levels of literacy development.
  • two principles of intervention, bottom-up and top-down, would both have positive effects.
  • there would be variations within the at-risk group in accordance with comorbidities and gender.
