Kees van den Bos

Prof. Kees van den Bos is an academic specializing in developmental psychology and educational neuroscience. His work focuses on reading disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and intervention programs for neurodevelopmental disorders. He contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to quality education and good health.

Research interests include text comprehension mechanisms, phonemic awareness development in children, and the interplay between attention deficits and learning outcomes. His studies utilize electrophysiological methods (e.g., ERP) and behavioral assessments to investigate cognitive processes in neurotypical and atypical populations.

Key research trends involve multisensory interventions for dyslexia, neurocognitive mechanisms underlying reading difficulties, and the impact of visual/verbal thinking styles on academic performance. He has published extensively on topics such as rapid automatized naming (RAN), phonological processing deficits, and neurodevelopmental disorder comorbidities.
