I am majoring in Cell and Molecular Neuroscience here at FSU. I am currently pre-med, and I hope to go to medical school to pursue neurology.

Dyslexia Predictors

Abstract

Dyslexia is a developmental learning disorder that is
neurobiological in origin (Snowling 2022). It is characterized as
having trouble decoding, recognizing, and spelling words
(Cutting 2009).
• Some predictors of dyslexia include phonological awareness,
phonological memory, rapid naming, family risk, and impaired
spelling and reading ability of words.
• The purpose of this meta-analysis is to determine which
combination of predictors most prominently lead to dyslexia.
• We do this by finding thousands of studies related to predicting
dyslexia, screening the title, abstracts, and eventually screening
entire texts.
• Data incorporated in the meta-analysis will be extracted from
articles that pass through full-text screening to determine which
predictors are most prominent in dyslexia identification.
• This data can be potentially used in further studies to identify
individuals with dyslexia and aid early intervention.
