This study concerns the question whether different reading-related neurocognitive
profiles can be observed for reading proficiency based groups
of children, who attend the upper levels of Dutch primary education. Besides
distinguishing between normal-to-good reading children and children
with Reading Disabilities (RD), subgroups are discerned for two frequently
reported comorbidities of RD, i.e., Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) and Specific Language Impairment (SLI).

The research of this PhD thesis is organized into two empirical sections
on different branches of reading-related neurocognitive research, which
are elaborated in five studies. The first section focuses on the cognitive
processes of phonemic awareness and rapid automatized naming, and the
first study specifically addresses the question as to how the severity of
RD affects the relative importance of these processes. Additionally, it is
investigated how this works out for above-average and excellent readers.
Involving the same processes, the second and third study focus on the issue
of comorbidity with SLI and ADHD. The second section contains the
fourth and fifth study which investigate the relatively novel link between
word reading and two aspects of visual attention, i.e., selective attention
and orienting of attention.

In the general discussion the employed working model of reading is supplied
with empirically based estimates of the neurocognitive effect sizes.
A main conclusion of the present study is that the addition of visual attention
measurements to a phonological reading model provides an enhanced
understanding of the cognitive basis of word reading, and offers
interesting new perspectives on differential-diagnostic procedures and
treatment planning.
