Early number skills underlie success in basic arithmetic. However, very little is known about the skill profiles among children in preprimary education and how the potential profiles are related to arithmetic development. This longitudinal study of 440 Finnish children in preprimary education (mean age 75 months) modeled latent performance-level profile groups for the early number skill components that are proposed to be key predictors of arithmetic (symbolic number comparison, mapping, and verbal counting skills). Based on three assessment time points (September, January, and May), four profile groups were found: the poorest-performing (6%), low-performing (16%), near-average-performing (3…

Psychosocial Functioning of Children with and without Dyslexia: A Follow-up Study from Ages Four to Nine

2014

This longitudinal study compares developmental changes in psychosocial functioning during the transition into school of children with and without dyslexia. In addition, it examines the effects of gender and family risk for dyslexia in terms of the associations between dyslexia and psychosocial functioning. Children's psychosocial functioning (social skills, inattention and externalizing and internalizing problems) was evaluated by their parents at ages 4, 6 and 9, and diagnosis for dyslexia was made at age 8 (in grade 2). The findings indicated that children with dyslexia were already rated as having poorer social skills and being more inattentive than were typical readers before their entr…

The cross-lagged relations between children’s academic skill development, task-avoidance, and parental beliefs about success.

2011

Abstract This longitudinal study investigated the cross-lagged associations between children’s academic skill development, task-avoidant behaviour in the context of homework, and parental beliefs about their child’s success from kindergarten to Grade 2. The participants were 1267 children. The children’s pre-skills were assessed at the end of the kindergarten year, and math and reading skills at the end of Grade 1 and Grade 2. Parents provided ratings of their beliefs about their children’s school success and task-avoidant behaviour with regard to homework at the end of Grades 1 and 2. The results showed that children’s math and reading skills predicted children’s task-avoidant behaviour re…

Parental Literacy Predicts Children's Literacy: A Longitudinal Family-Risk Study

2011

This family-risk (FR) study examined whether the literacy skills of parents with dyslexia are predictive of the literacy skills of their offspring. We report data from 31 child-parent dyads where both had dyslexia (FR-D) and 68 dyads where the child did not have dyslexia (FR-ND). Findings supported the differences in liability of FR children with and without dyslexia: the parents of the FR-D children had more severe difficulties in pseudoword reading and spelling accuracy, in rapid word recognition, and in text reading fluency than the parents of the FR-ND children. Finally, parental skills were found to be significant predictors of children's Grade 3 reading and spelling. Parental skills p…

LORIA, PITRÈ, VILLARI: IMPERTINENZE, RESISTENZE, CORRISPONDENZE

This work explores the contradictory relationship of intense scientific rivalry between Giuseppe Pitré and Lamberto Loria. To do this, the author analyzes the correspondence collections of the Historical Archives of the “Giuseppe Pitrè” Ethnographic Museum of Palermo and of the National Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions in Rome, crossing them with other sources already analyzed in previous studies.

Lévi-Strauss face à la catastrophe

2018

Viviamo in un “tempo di catastrofi” che il progresso tecnologico non sembra più in grado di contrastare. Ma le recenti crisi ecologiche (da Chernobyl al “morbo della mucca pazza”) non sono forse legate ad altri eventi che hanno segnato per sempre il destino dell'umanità – come i genocidi seguiti alla conquista dell'America o la Shoah? Il libro affronta questa domanda, attraverso una lettura originale dell'opera di Claude Lévi-Strauss. Disegnando un ritratto intellettuale inedito dell'antropologo francese, Salvatore D'Onofrio mostra come le idee di questo intellettuale ribelle e non consensuale forniscano le chiavi per pensare sia all'avvento della catastrofe che alle possibilità di uscirne.…

Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid- Universitetet i Agder 2010 TITLE: "Anyone can get sick" - A description of how language contributes to the opinion of the employees and users at a local meeting place for people with mental disorders. In this study, my focus has been on the importance of language in mental health care, by examining how language can contribute to the opinion. I have been concerned with the task of looking at the truths involved, when we do not always say what we think about mental poor health, and expressed as self-evident truths. My understanding of language and people say something about what might be involved in maintaining self-evident truths that "all may be sick." I…
