  1. Dyslexia in Higher Education Fact retrieval in postsecondary students with dyslexiaTops, W., Callens, M., & Brysbaert, M. Mathematical fact retrieval • Participants:100 dyslexic students and 100 control students • Method: • Tempo Test Rekenen (de Vos, 1992) :fast mental arithmetic (1-100) • addition (1’) – subtraction (1’) – multiplication (1’) – division(1’) – mixed operations (1’) Results Participants: 100 first bachelor students with dyslexia and 100 matched control students (age, gender, education) Goals: Longitudinal follow-up (bachelor studies) Scientific framework for diagnosis and guidance protocols for (adult) students with dyslexia Cognitive profile of (adult) students with dyslexia Influence of dyslexia on academical achievement Method: General cognitive functioning: IQ – memory – attention – concentration – vocabulary Reading and writing skills: word reading – pseudoword reading – text reading – word dication sentence dictation – free writing - English word reading – English word dictation - … Phonological skills: spoonerisms – reversals – RAN – fact retrieval Personality inventory – study strategies and motivation inventory Interview Discussion No differences in error rate, but problems with fast fact retrieval in general Big effect sizes for all operations except subtraction (d = -.66) References de Vos, T.
