summaryThe Jyväskylä longitudinal study of dyslexia (JLD) is a two-decade-long investigation of family risk for dyslexia and the development of reading. The ongoing research has investigated cognitive skills, environmental factors, and brain responses of 100 children with family risk for dyslexia and 100 children without family risk for dyslexia from birth with multiple measurement time points (last cognitive measure at age 23, N = 135). At the current measurements, we are re-assessing brain responses from the same participants at 25-28 years of age combining MEG/EEG and eye-tracking (ET) and comparing the brain activation with the development of reading from childhood to adulthood. In earlier studies, we, for example, found (Lohvansuu et al. 2018), that rapid automatic naming (RAN) was a mediating factor between later reading speed and infant brain activity to speech. We re-investigate this relationship in adulthood brain data. In this presentation, we give an overview of the methods used for auditory processing, natural reading, and their challenges.
