How can we help people to learn in an
effective, efficient, attractive and
accessible way?
4
(Koper & Tattersall, 2005a)
Teaching depends on … right?
5
● Specific situation?
● Learning Design ?
● Learning types?
● Material ?
⇒ Is that correct?
(Koper & Tattersall, 2005b)
Research Findings and Misconceptions
6
● 49% teachers believed 49% of the neuromyths statements.
● 70% of the general knowledge statements were answered correctly.
● Possessing greater general knowledge about the brain does not appear to
protect teachers from believing in neuromyths.
⇒ This demonstrates the need for enhanced interdisciplinary communication
to reduce such misunderstandings in the future and establish a successful
collaboration between neuroscience and education.
(Dekker et al., 2012)
Problem with Neuromyths?
7
Misconceptions and myths may have adverse effects
on educational practice.
(Dekker et al., 2012)
“Preferred Learning Styles / Learning types”
8
● It is the belief that individuals can benefit from receiving information in their
preferred format.
(Dekker et al., 2012)
“Preferred Learning Styles / Learning types”
9
● It is the belief that individuals can benefit from receiving information in their
preferred format.
Problem:
● No coherent framework of preferred learning styles
○ auditory, visual or kinesthetic learners based on self-reports.
○ 70 different models, e.g. “left vs. right brain,” “verbalisers vs. visualisers”
● No or only weak evidence on the effectiveness could be found. While
appropriated combining of material is more effective.
(Dekker et al., 2012)
Common Misconception 2017
10
The two most commonly endorsed neuromyths
across all groups were related to learning styles
and dyslexia.
(∼50% endorsement or higher)
(Macdonald, 2017)
Suggestion
11
● Read popular science magazines not popular media.
● Explicit education for teachers about neuromyths
● Enhanced interdisciplinary communication to reduce
such misunderstandings.

35
To sum up...
All reading and spelling tests need a
minimum knowledge of phonological awareness,
grammar, and vocabulary
of the child to predict risk of dyslexia
36
@Rauschii | www.mariarauschenberger.com
Dyslexia is normally detected using linguistic elements.
That can only be possible when children have already developed
reading skills.
Is it possible to predict that a child may have dyslexia before
s/he develops reading skills?
37
@Rauschii | www.mariarauschenberger.com
Detection for Pre-Readers
38
(Rauschenberger et al., 2017)
Other approaches
● With brain recordings for newborns (Guttorm et al., 2003)
● With rapid auditory cues for infants (Benasich, 2002)
● With the perception of visual-spatial attention for
kindergarten children (Franceschini, 2012)

language acquisition of pre-readers.

Suggestions for your students
● Use different spell checkers, e.g. Drive, Grammarly and Word Office.
● Use spell checkers specifically designed for a person with dyslexia e.g. Babel,
PoliSpell or RealCheck (Rauschenberger et al., 2019).
● Ask for proof reading.
● Organisational support, e.g. student contact/disability services, more time in an
examen

Misconceptions, Neuromyths and Dyslexia

  • 1. Maria Rauschenberger Universitat Pompeu Fabra Maria.Rauschenberger@upf.edu Misconceptions, Neuromyths and Dyslexia
  • 4. How can we help people to learn in an effective, efficient, attractive and accessible way? 4 (Koper & Tattersall, 2005a)
  • 5. Teaching depends on … right? 5 ● Specific situation? ● Learning Design ? ● Learning types? ● Material ? ⇒ Is that correct? (Koper & Tattersall, 2005b)
  • 6. Research Findings and Misconceptions 6 ● 49% teachers believed 49% of the neuromyths statements. ● 70% of the general knowledge statements were answered correctly. ● Possessing greater general knowledge about the brain does not appear to protect teachers from believing in neuromyths. ⇒ This demonstrates the need for enhanced interdisciplinary communication to reduce such misunderstandings in the future and establish a successful collaboration between neuroscience and education. (Dekker et al., 2012)
  • 7. Problem with Neuromyths? 7 Misconceptions and myths may have adverse effects on educational practice. (Dekker et al., 2012)
  • 8. “Preferred Learning Styles / Learning types” 8 ● It is the belief that individuals can benefit from receiving information in their preferred format. (Dekker et al., 2012)
  • 9. “Preferred Learning Styles / Learning types” 9 ● It is the belief that individuals can benefit from receiving information in their preferred format. Problem: ● No coherent framework of preferred learning styles ○ auditory, visual or kinesthetic learners based on self-reports. ○ 70 different models, e.g. “left vs. right brain,” “verbalisers vs. visualisers” ● No or only weak evidence on the effectiveness could be found. While appropriated combining of material is more effective. (Dekker et al., 2012)
  • 10. Common Misconception 2017 10 The two most commonly endorsed neuromyths across all groups were related to learning styles and dyslexia. (∼50% endorsement or higher) (Macdonald, 2017)
  • 11. Suggestion 11 ● Read popular science magazines not popular media. ● Explicit education for teachers about neuromyths ● Enhanced interdisciplinary communication to reduce such misunderstandings. (Dekker et al., 2012)

  • 36. To sum up... All reading and spelling tests need a minimum knowledge of phonological awareness, grammar, and vocabulary of the child to predict risk of dyslexia 36 @Rauschii | www.mariarauschenberger.com
  • 37. Dyslexia is normally detected using linguistic elements. That can only be possible when children have already developed reading skills. Is it possible to predict that a child may have dyslexia before s/he develops reading skills? 37 @Rauschii | www.mariarauschenberger.com
  • 39. Other approaches ● With brain recordings for newborns (Guttorm et al., 2003) ● With rapid auditory cues for infants (Benasich, 2002) ● With the perception of visual-spatial attention for kindergarten children (Franceschini, 2012) ⇒ Expensive approaches to predict future language acquisition of pre-readers. 39 @Rauschii | www.mariarauschenberger.com
