T1 - The relative roles of IQ and cognitive processes in reading disability LA - eng PY - 2009 SP - 27 EP - 43 T2 - Educational Psychology SN - 0144-3410 VL - 29 IS - 1 AB - The purpose of the present study was to explore the relative roles of IQ and cognitive processes in reading performance. A sample of 443 Spanish children (264 male, 179 female) ranging in age from 7 to 13 years were classified into four groups according to IQ scores (80, 80-90, 90-110, 110) and reading disabled (RD) and normally achieving readers (NR) were compared. The findings indicate that IQ scores were not related to the differences between children with RD and NR. We found that reading-related cognitive deficits do differentiate between RD and NR children. Therefore, IQ scores do not make a significant contribution to our understanding of reading disability.
