to examine how children's achievement on four assessments at the beginning of Grade R, namely their numeracy, their mathematics-specific vocabulary, their executive functions, and their logical reasoning capabilities, predicted their performance on a numeracy assessment at the beginni...
(I have some questions about the use of "often" rather than "always" here, but let us not interrupt Deacon's train of thought). In any context, orthograde processes will continue until they reach a state in which there is symmetry in the probable directions of change, or until the ...
