Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In the proposed study, brain activation patterns and structural measures of the connectivity of the brain are the dependent variables. We are particularly interested in the neural correlates of treatment response and whether and how this resembles or differs from age- and reading matched controls. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| On a behavioural level, we will measure reading accuracy and fluency, phonological awareness capacity, and response to online altered auditory feedback (as a measure of speech perception/production interactions). | — |
