Statistical learning in children with a family risk of dyslexia
The assumption that statistical learning is affected in dyslexia has generally been evaluated in children and adults with diagnosed dyslexia, not in pre‐literate children with a family risk (FR) of dyslexia. In this study, four‐to‐five‐year‐old FR children (n = 25) and No‐FR children (n = 33) comple...

description | The assumption that statistical learning is affected in dyslexia has generally been evaluated in children and adults with diagnosed dyslexia, not in pre‐literate children with a family risk (FR) of dyslexia. In this study, four‐to‐five‐year‐old FR children (n = 25) and No‐FR children (n = 33) completed tasks of emerging literacy (phoneme awareness and RAN). They also performed an online non‐adjacent dependency learning (NADL) task, based on the Serial Reaction Time (SRT) task paradigm. Children's accuracy (hits), signal sensitivity (d′) and reaction times were measured. The FR group performed marginally more poorly on phoneme awareness and significantly more poorly on RAN than the No‐FR group. Regarding NADL outcomes, the results were less straightforward: the data suggested successful statistical learning for both groups, as indicated by the hit and reaction time curves found. However, the FR group was less accurate and slower on the task than the No‐FR group. Furthermore, unlike the No‐FR group, performance in the FR group varied as a function of the specific stimulus presented. Taken together, these findings fail to show a robust difference in statistical learning between children with and without an FR of dyslexia at preschool age, in line with earlier work on older children and adults with dyslexia. |
