Assessment of language disorders in anemic pupils in Chaouen Northern region of Morocco
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Reading skills have a very important impact on all school learning, and students who have difficulty in acquiring these skills find major difficulties in pursuing their studies. The association between anemia and neurocognitive and psychomotor development has been widely reported among school-age children, thus adversely affecting learning abilities and academic performance. One of the reading assessment tools is the software LABBEL which is a battery of tests for the cognitive evaluation of language. This study was conducted with 24 anemic pupils aged 9 to 16, in the region of the city of Chaouen in northern Morocco. In this study we found significant correlations at 0.05 level, between the complex word reading task and the visual lexical decision task with R=0.45, between the word and non-word reading task and the visual lexical decision task with R=0.42, and between the auditory lexical decision task and the visual lexical decision task with R=0.48. We noticed a positive correlation between hemoglobin levels and the words and non-words reading task with R=0.37, and between hemoglobin level and the complex words reading task with R=0.30. This allows us to say that reading performance is related to hemoglobin levels.
