“…This finding is in line with the evidence that girls outperform boys in reading in upper grades (OECD, 2010a, b) and that fewer girls have reading disabilities (Rutter et al, 2004). In the present data, in Grade 2 dyslexia was as prevalent among boys and as it was among girls, whereas in grade 8, 65% of the dyslexic adolescents were male.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…The results obtained support the findings from previous empirical studies that have been reported with regards to working memory deficits in children with ID [23][24][25][26][27][28]. The outcome of the present research also supports the earlier studies of general memory deficit in ID subjects that is independent of modality (visual or auditory) and memory components (STM or WM) [29,30].…”

“…We found more girls with problems in arithmetic (overall and with isolated arithmetic disorder) and more boys with problems in spelling. The disproportionate number of boys with literacy problems is in line with the large body of research suggesting that dyslexia is more apparent in boys than in girls [24]. Our results specify previous findings by showing that more boys than girls can be identified with combined literacy deficits (reading and spelling problems) and with isolated spelling disorder.…”
