Cognitive Profile of Students Who Enter Higher Education with an Indication of Dyslexia

For languages other than English there is a lack of empirical evidence about the cognitive profile of students entering higher education with a diagnosis of dyslexia. To obtain such evidence, we compared a group of 100 Dutch-speaking students diagnosed with dyslexia with a control group of 100 students without learning disabilities. Our study showed selective deficits in reading and writing (effect sizes for accuracy between d = 1 and d = 2), arithmetic (d≈1), and phonological processing (d>0.7). Except for spelling, these deficits were larger for speed related measures than for accuracy related measures. Students with dyslexia also performed slightly inferior on the KAIT tests of crystallized intelligence, due to the retrieval of verbal information from long-term memory. No significant differences were observed in the KAIT tests of fluid intelligence. The profile we obtained agrees with a recent meta-analysis of English findings suggesting that it generalizes to all alphabetic languages. Implications for special arrangements for students with dyslexia in higher education are outlined

Note sur la diversité des variétés de Festulolium

Une directive de l'Union Européenne vient d'élargir récemment la définition de Festulolium; l'objet de cette note est d'attirer l'attention sur la diversité génétique que va recouvrir désormais cette nouvelle définition et ses conséquences sur la valeur d'utilisation des variétés de Festulolium. Les résultats d'essais récents du GEVES permettent de bien illustrer les différences d'ordre génétique d'une part entre Festulolium, et vis-à-vis des espèces parentales d'autre part, et comment elles influent directement sur la valeur d'utilisation des Festulolium.By a decision of the European Union, the definition of Festulolium was recently extended; the aim of this paper is to direct the attention towards the genetic diversity covered by the new definition and the consequences on the utilisation value of the various cultivars of Festulolium. Recent trial results by GEVES show the genetic differences that exist among the various strains of Festulolium, and also between them and the parental species. They also show their direct influence on the utilisation value of Festulolium
