Study tests how reading skill affects thinking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how difficulty reading might change how people make judgments and decisions. You may be asked to complete reading and thinking tasks, and the researchers compare results by reading performance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You score below 93 on a reading-efficiency screening test (Test of Silent Reading Efficiency).
- You should not have a diagnosed, significant problem with thinking or memory (cognitive impairment).
- You should not have a diagnosed, significant behavioral disability that affects functioning.
- You may be invited to complete tasks that test reading and decision-making based on your screening results.

This study looks at how children in kindergarten think and learn (often called “executive function”). They may be testing whether certain patterns in thinking and behavior relate to learning or development, and what can be measured in young children.
This study tests whether a safe, non-drug brain stimulation approach can help adults better understand what they read. It aims to see if the treatment improves reading comprehension and related thinking skills.
This study tests whether pairing a gentle brain stimulation technique with structured reading instruction can improve reading skills in children with dyslexia. It aims to find a new way to support reading development.
This study looks at thinking skills (like memory and problem-solving) in adults with intellectual disabilities, including Down syndrome. You will complete some tests and interviews with a psychologist to understand how these skills work.
This study follows children’s thinking and learning over time using simple testing at school. It aims to better estimate how children’s thinking develops and how it changes as they grow.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta-burst stimulation to understand how it affects reading and language networks. It may help researchers learn more about how the brain processes reading in healthy young adults.
