Computerized Reading Intervention Research Study

Study Name: The Role of Executive Functions in Reading and Reading Remediation

Description: We are recruiting children who are 8-12 years old with and without a reading disability to examine the effects of a computerized reading remediation program.

Participation will include 4.5 hours of cognitive testing (3 hours of remote virtual testing, 1.5 hours of in-person testing) and a 1-hr magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of your child’s brain. Once this initial testing is complete, participants will complete either a reading or mathematics on-line intervention program. The intervention program requires 20-30 minutes of training three (3) times a week over an 8-week period.  Once the training program is complete, participants will repeat another 4.5 hours of cognitive testing and a 1-hr MRI scan to examine changes in cognitive performance and brain activity. Participants who complete the mathematics program will have the opportunity to complete the reading intervention program at the end of their study participation. Participants will be compensations for their participation in this study.
