Due to COVID-19, the spring and summer of 2020 were very different for the lab. But we continued to check-in with each other and meet over Zoom. We all worked together to get a COVID-19 survey out to our longitudinal executive function study participant families. We received over 200 responses, which will help us understand the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health and well-being of children in the Austin area.<\/p>\n

New Papers, Fall 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tehila and Mary Abbe\u2019s papers from the LDRC reading intervention study were recently accepted for publication!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In comparing struggling and non-struggling readers, Mary Abbe found that differences in executive control engagement were largely specific to a reading task and not to a control task, indicating that struggling readers may not have general control deficits. Tehila extended this finding across the intervention to show that network engagement during a reading task, but not during a control task, separated improvers and non-improvers from non-struggling readers. This indicates that brain changes related to intervention outcome in struggling readers were specific to the reading process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
