Faculty/Staff Detail

David Kilpatrick, Psychology Department, had an article published in the Summer 2020 issue of Perspectives on Language and Literacy, a publication of the International Dyslexia Association. The article is titled “How the Phonology of Speech Is Foundational for Instant Word Recognition.” Also, he was asked by Pearson, Inc. to help revise the reading-related subtests from the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test – 4th Edition (WIAT-4). He declined the offered remuneration for his work in order to be able to recommend the revised test battery without any financial conflict of interest. It is currently the only K-12 individualized academic achievement battery with reading-related subtests that incorporate recent advances in the scientific research on reading acquisition and reading difficulties/disabilities. The WIAT-4 released in September.
