How well can primary school children read texts? That is what you aim to find out as a PhD candidate. In this joint study between Radboud University’s BSI lab and Cito, you will use eye tracking and EEG to understand children’s reading processes and reading outcomes to a new level.
We are looking for a PhD candidate on the joined Stichting Cito/ BSI project ’Assessing Children's Deep Reading Comprehension Processes and Outcomes’. The aim of the project is to validate a measure of reading comprehension in primary school children in which the outcome of the reading process, the situation model, is assessed. The focus is on comprehension of narrative and expository texts, and on not only the reading outcome, but also on the reading process (such as inattention during reading/mind wandering).
The project involves three studies, and includes eye-tracking and EEG. This project will be embedded in a larger Vici grant project called ‘Opportunities and Challenges in the Children's Comprehension of Multiple Digital Texts’ conducted by two PhD candidates and two postdoctoral researchers at BSI and Stichting Cito. As part of this position, you will have a teaching load of 10%.
