1 Gorka Fraga González
Post-doctoral researcher in Developmental Psychology, University of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLAND
Phd in Developmental Psychology since 2015. During my doctoral studies I performed longitudinal behavioral and electroencephalographic studies in 3rd grade children to examine neural markers of dyslexia, reading gains after training and changes in brain activity associated with treatment response. I am currently a post-doctoral researcher in the project ‘Characterization of functional brain network organization in dyslexia and development’. My focus is on using a variety of neuroscientific methods, such as graph network analysis, to gain new insights into brain changes underlying typical and atypical acquisition of reading skills. 

RESUMEN SIMPOSIO INVITADO
New insights on typical and atypical reading development from brain and intervention studies
Fluent reading is an essential skill in our information society and, thus, it is a primary focus of education. However, a small but significant percentage of children diagnosed with developmental dyslexia are unable to acquire typical levels of reading abilities and require specialized intervention. We introduce the work from several European labs aimed at advancing our understanding of the brain and cognitive mechanisms involved in reading acquisition and dyslexia. Their focus varies from fundamental aspects of learning to the development of innovative interventions.
