The serial advantage, defined as the gain in naming rate in the serial over the discrete task of the same content, was examined between grades and types of content in English and Greek. 720 English- and Greek-speaking children from Grades 1, 3, and 5 were tested in rapid naming and reading tasks of different content, including digits, objects, dice, number words, and words. Each type of content was presented in two presentation formats: multiple stimulus displays (i.e., serial naming) and isolated stimulus displays (i.e., discrete naming). Serial tasks yielded faster naming rates―irrespective of task content―in both languages. However, content-specific characteristics influenced the trajectory of the serial advantage between grades. Improvement in the serial advantage between grades was found to be greatest for word reading, which started off similar to object naming in Grade 1, but ended up similar to digit or dice naming by Grade 5. In addition, growth in serial advantage was found to be associated with growth in discrete naming rate only in grade level analysis. For individuals, greater serial advantage was found to rely on processing skills specific to serial naming rather than on differences in the rate of naming isolated items. Our findings suggest that group level findings may not generalize to individuals, and although practice and familiarity with the content on the naming/reading task may impact the development of serial advantage, isolated item identification processes contribute little to individual differences in the gain in serial naming rates.

We recently pointed out that there is no evidence to support the commonly held view that there is something wrong with the brains of children who have great difficulty learning to read. In response, it was argued that dyslexia should be considered to be a neurodevelopmental disorder because of its potential to adversely affect quality of life, and because there are differences between the brains of people with different levels of reading skill. We agree with these two points, but they are irrelevant to the issue in question, because neither establishes the critical notion of disrupted neurodevelopment; that is, a brain fault. Differences between groups do not imply that any individuals are abnormal, and calling a brain improperly developed on the basis of cultural issues has absurd implications. Even calling brains atypical is unfounded because reference to typicality hinges on knowledge of the relevant distributions, which is currently lacking. Moreover, there is at present no obvious role for neurology- or neuroscience-based input for the critical issue of the assessment and remediation of the reading difficulties themselves. We reiterate our conclusion that there is, at the moment, no credible foundation to support the claim that dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Understanding fluency: Beyond the automaticity of single word reading.
Vis sammendrag
Fluent reading is the hallmark of the skilled reader and a foundation for efficient comprehension. Yet we understand surprisingly little about the nature and development of reading fluency. Current theoretical models seem to assume that fluent reading is a corollary of automatized individual word recognition; however, the efficiency of word list reading is more closely associated with serial digit naming (RAN; a nonreading task) than with the speed of reading individual words. In this talk I will present a framework for conceptualizing reading of word sequences as a serial naming task by focusing on parallel processing due to temporally overlapping processing of successive items. This approach helps us understand differences between naming tasks, their relationship to reading fluency, and -- most importantly -- what are the additional prerequisites to reading fluency, beyond automaticity, which end up dominating the development of word-level reading skill past the beginner stages. The enriched view of fluency enabled by this approach can shed light on why fluency interventions are less efficient than interventions targeting earlier stages of reading development, as well as on why certain types of interventions have emerged as consistently more effective.
