SUMMARY:SEMINAR: The Role of Executive Functions in Language Processes in T
 ypical and Atypical Development: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging S
 tudy. By: Ph.D Raya Meri
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:\n Location:כיתה 307\, הפקולטה לחינוך
  למדע וטכנולוגיה\n Zoom: \n Abstract:\nExecutive functions (
 EF) are a variety of cognitive processes supporting learning and academic 
 activities such as reading. It is evident that children with atypical read
 ing development\, such as dyslexia and Rolandic epilepsy\, show deficits i
 n EF. These individuals also share challenges in reading and narrative com
 prehension\, and it is assumed that these difficulties are attributed to t
 heir challenges in EF.\nThree studies conducted during this PhD aimed to c
 ompare the involvement of EF and associated neural networks during reading
  and narrative comprehension in 8-15 year-old Hebrew and English speaking 
 typical readers\, children with dyslexia and children with Rolandic epilep
 sy using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Overall\, the findi
 ng point at a crucial involvement of EF in narrative and reading comprehen
 sion processes\, with distinct patterns of EF involvement were found in ch
 ildren with atypical reading development. This work supports the need to i
 nclude EF in reading development models\, such as the Simple View of Readi
 ng model.\nshort  bio:\nAfter completing her B.A in psychology from the u
 niversity of Haifa\, Raya started her Master’s degree in the Educational
  Neuroimaging lab. Raya moved to a direct PhD track and her research focus
 ed on the role of executive functions in reading and narrative comprehensi
 on in children with typical and atypical language development. The main po
 pulations she worked with were children with epilepsy and children with dy
 slexia.
