Real Time RT-PCR02:57

Real Time RT-PCR

66.2K
Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.
The real-time quantification of the number of amplified products is...

Correlations02:20

Correlations

36.9K
Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Coefficient of Correlation01:12

Coefficient of Correlation

9.0K
The correlation coefficient, r, developed by Karl Pearson in the early 1900s, is numerical and provides a measure of strength and direction of the linear association between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y.
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

718
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

929
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends02:35

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

7.5K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Summary

Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) uniquely predicts oral reading fluency in children, but not silent reading. Phonological awareness and orthographic processing partly mediate this relationship.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • The relationship between Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) and reading fluency is a key area in developmental psychology.
  • Understanding the mechanisms linking RAN to reading is crucial for effective reading interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test theoretical models explaining the RAN-reading relationship in Greek children.
  • To investigate whether RAN predicts oral versus silent reading fluency differently.
  • To examine the mediating roles of phonological awareness and orthographic processing.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study of 286 children from Grade 1 to Grade 2.
  • Tested eight models varying RAN task type and reading outcome.
  • Controlled for common cause variables like working memory and processing speed.

Main Results:

  • RAN significantly predicted oral reading fluency, but not silent reading fluency.
  • Both alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric RAN tasks showed similar predictive power.
  • Phonological awareness and orthographic processing partially mediated the RAN-oral reading fluency link.

Conclusions:

  • RAN is a specific predictor of oral reading fluency, supporting theories emphasizing automaticity in speech production.
  • The findings highlight the importance of both phonological and orthographic skills in the RAN-reading connection.
  • Implications for reading instruction and assessment in transparent orthographies are discussed.
