The LEE research group grew out of the shared interests of professionals with extensive experience in research on written language, academic skills and their difficulties, and their practical applications.
Its core objectives focus on the acquisition and development of written language and arithmetic, and on learning difficulties, including dyslexia, dysorthography, dysgraphia, reading and writing delay, and dyscalculia, as well as on applying this knowledge to psychoeducational assessment and intervention and, more broadly, to educational improvement.
Its main lines of research are:
- Acquisition and development of academic learning skills: reading, writing and arithmetic.
- Assessment and intervention in learning disorders in Spanish.
- Design of evidence-based detection and intervention measures.
- Cross-linguistic research on acquisition, development and learning difficulties.
- Neuroscience of written language and numeracy development.
- Psycholinguistic skills associated with written language and numeracy development.
- Emotional and motivational aspects associated with academic learning and learning difficulties.
- Reasoning and literacy.
- Bilingualism and literacy.
- Promotion and intervention in learning skills in contexts at risk of socio-economic disadvantage.
- Learning potential and dynamic assessment in reading and writing.
