Early Cognitive Profiles Predicting Reading and Arithmetic Skills in Grades 1 and 7
2020
The aim of this study was to investigate cognitive profiles composed of skills predicting the overlap between reading and arithmetic in kindergarten (phonological awareness, letter knowledge, rapid automatized naming, and counting sequence knowledge) and the relation of these profiles to reading and arithmetic skills at Grades 1 and 7. A total of four distinct cognitive profiles were identified in an unselected sample of 1,710 children aged 5–6 years: (1) high linguistic and high counting skills (39.2%), (2) low linguistic and low counting skills (25.4%), (3) high counting skills in relation to linguistic skills (15.3%), and (4) low counting skills in relation to linguistic skills (20.1%). …
Prematurity and overlap between reading and arithmetic: The cognitive mechanisms behind the association
2019
It is well-known that very preterm children perform at lower levels than full-term children in reading and arithmetic at school. Whether the lower performance levels of preterm children in these two separate domains have the same or different origins, however, is not clear. The present study examined the extent to which prematurity is associated with the overlap (i.e., common variance) of reading and arithmetic among Finnish school beginners. We also examined the extent to which the association of prematurity with the overlap between reading and arithmetic is due to different prereading skills, basic number skills, and general cognitive abilities. The participants (age 6-7) consisted of 193…

A cultural comparison of mindfulness and student performance: Evidence from university students in five countries
2021
Societal and cultural norms are important in shaping how individuals live, study, and work. Of particular interest in recent research is the role of mindfulness, defined as the ability to focus on the present moment, and how it can impact cognitive function and productivity. This study examines the relationship between scholastic achievement and mindfulness among university students in China, Finland, Germany, South Africa, and the United States. Comparisons between countries with respect to self-reported measures of mindfulness, test anxiety levels, and phone usage are analyzed. These measures are used to determine whether mindfulness affects student performance in introductory economics c…
Returning to Work after Stroke: Associations with Cognitive Performance, Motivation, Perceived Working Ability and Barriers.
2022
Objective: To investigate post-stroke return-to-work and its associations with cognitive performance, motivation, perceived working ability, and self-perceived barriers to returning to work.Design: Prospective cohort study of a clinical sample.Subjects and methods: Participants were 77 stroke patients younger than age 69 years. Assessment included a cognitive screening method for stroke patients (CoMet), a questionnaire regarding work-related matters, and a question regarding motivation to return to work. A predictive model of return-to-work was built, and how participants managed in their working life was examined.Results: Cognitive performance was significantly connected with returning to…

Altered prefrontal cortex responses in older adults with subjective memory complaints and dementia during dual‐task gait : an fNIRS study
2021
People with cognitive impairments show deficits during physical performances such as gait, in particular during cognitively‐challenging conditions (i.e. dual‐task gait [DTG]). However it is unclear if people at risk of dementia, such as those with subjective memory complaints (SMC), also display gait and central deficits associated with DTG. In this study, we investigated the effects of single‐ and dual‐task gait (STG and DTG), on left prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation in elderly people with subjective memory complaints (SMC) and Dementia. 58 older adults (aged 65‐94 yrs; 26 Healthy; 23 SMC; 9 Dementia) were recruited. Gait spatiotemporal characteristics (i.e. stride velocity and length) w…
Nopean sarjallisen nimeämisen, työmuistin, fonologisen tietoisuuden ja lukujonotaitojen yhteys lukusujuvuuteen ensimmäisellä ja toisella luokalla
2017
Tutkimuksemme tarkoituksena oli tarkastella lukusujuvuutta ensimmäisellä ja toisella luokalla ja selvittää, miten sen oletetut kognitiiviset taustataidot (nopea sarjallinen nimeäminen, fonologinen tietoisuus, kielellinen työmuisti ja lukujonotaidot) ovat yhteydessä lukusujuvuuteen. Tutkimusaihe on tärkeä, koska suomen säännönmukaisessa kirjoitusjärjestelmässä nimenomaan lukusujuvuus on lukijoita erotteleva tekijä. Englannin kieleen painottuneissa tutkimuksissa on pitkään kiinnitetty huomiota lukutarkkuuteen lukusujuvuuden sijaan. Tutkimuksemme aineisto on osa FLARE-tutkimushankkeen aineistoa, joka kerättiin viidestä keskisuomalaisesta koulusta 1–2-luokkalaisilta oppilailta vuonna 2016. Pitk…
Cognitive skills, self-beliefs and task interest in children with low reading and/or arithmetic fluency
2022
This study examined the identifiability and early cognitive and motivational markers of low reading and arithmetic fluency. Comparisons of these characteristics between Finnish third graders (n = 197) with low fluency in reading, arithmetic, or both revealed, first, that the majority of third graders with low arithmetic fluency showed low arithmetic skills already at first-grade spring, whereas children with low reading fluency were identified from the second-grade fall onward. Second, all groups with low fluency showed low rapid automatized naming and counting skills across the primary school years, while in other cognitive skills these groups showed different patterns. Third, all groups w…
Varhainen motorinen kehitys on yhteydessä kognitiiviseen suorituskykyyn varhaisessa vanhuudessa
2018
Kyky liikkua itsenäisesti minne haluaa, milloin haluaa ja miten haluaa, on tärkeää niin varhaisessa lapsuudessa kuin myöhemmin vanhuudessa. Varhaisempi kävelemään oppiminen on yhteydessä parempaan kognitiiviseen suorituskykyyn vanhuudessa. Vireät aivot vanhuudessa pitävät puolestaan yllä laajempaa elinpiiriä. nonPeerReviewed
