Oral language comprehension skills of children with or at risk for (D)LD can be supported. Age was not associated with efficacy, indicating that 2–13-year-old children can benefit from comprehension interventions regardless of their age. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Great study from abroad. This begs the question, can parental reading and the presence of books at home overcome genetic predisposition?
Monica Melby-Lervåg@melbylervag.bsky.social · 2y agoBooks at home and reading to children is seen as causally related to childrens literacy development. Such studies often dont account genetics. In our study in JCPP, we do, and what happens then? 😊 with @drelsje.bsky.social @grandegerman.bsky.social acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Stathis Psillos book is an excellent introduction to and overview of the problems of correlation and causation, and providing explanation, a central background to master when aiming to separate the theoretical wheat from the chaff advancing knowledge of crime and its prevention
At én artikkel ble oversett av norske medier, er ikke problemet. Men når de fleste journalister nå har oppdaget Trumps strategi med støy og avledning, bør de fokusere mer på hvordan og hvorfor, ikke hva. Bak alt som kan oppleves som impulsiv galskap fra Trump, finnes det som regel en plan.
Ikke et ord i norske medier om DOGE-planen
Det foregår en utrenskning fra innsiden av den amerikanske staten. Washington Post har forklart hvordan DOGE jobber, men ingen har fått det med seg.

I’m so excited for my trip to the world’s northernmost university— The Arctic University of Norway, in Tromsø, Norway—350 km north of the Arctic Circle! ❄️✨ On 11 Feb I’ll be speaking at a seminar alongside fantastic colleagues @mtorppa.bsky.social @melbylervag.bsky.social uit.no/tavla/artikk...
11. februar kommer endelig boken min 😊. Jeg er så spent, en omfattende grunnbok på nesten 500 sider. Endelig har jeg en lærebok til undervisning, håper den blir likt&brukt!
Veldig hyggelig å starte uken med åpningsforelesningen på konferansen «Fra spesialundervisning til individuell tilrrettelagt opplæring» hos @fagfokus. Håper det gikk greit, 570 deltagere!
Så hyggelig å snakke om effekten av tiltak for barn som har behov for spesialpedagogisk hjelp. Veldig imponert med hvordan de jobber med dette, med nettverk og samlinger for å få til et mest mulig enhetlig tilbud på tvers av kommuner 😊

Although I managed to turn my morning walks into a habit (thanks to audiobooks), I've never managed to do so for writing. This morning, I finished this helpful audiobook, "Write Now Matter What"; now, I don't have any excuse to start writing 15 min every day, as the book recommends. Wish me luck!
This great paper shows how controlling for genetic confounds can reveal *true* environmental effects, which we can then target effectively for intervention.
