Stability of Learning Disabilities, Cognitive Growth, and L1 in English Learners: A Latent Class and Transition Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Swanson, H. Lee; Kong, Jennifer; Petcu, Stefania D. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
This study investigated the stability of latent classes of students with learning disabilities among a heterogeneous sample of elementary-aged children whose first language is Spanish. To this end, children (N = 284) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 at Wave 1 (Year 1) were administered a battery of vocabulary, reading, math, and cognitive measures…

Swanson, H. Lee; Kong, Jennifer; Petcu, Stefania D.; Asencio Pimentel, Monica Fiorella – Exceptional Children, 2020
This study investigated the prevalence of latent classes at risk for reading or math disabilities in elementary-age children whose first language is Spanish. To this end, children (N = 394) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 were administered a battery of vocabulary, reading, math, and cognitive measures in both Spanish and English. Three important findings…

Identifying Learning Disabilities through a Cognitive Deficit Framework: Can Verbal Memory Deficits Explain Similarities between Learning Disabled and Low Achieving Students?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Callinan, Sarah; Theiler, Stephen; Cunningham, Everarda – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
Traditionally, students with learning disabilities (LD) have been identified using an aptitude--achievement discrepancy or response to intervention approach. As profiles of the cognitive deficits of discrepancy-defined students with LD have already been developed using these approaches, these deficits can in turn be used to identify LD using the…

The Contributions of Domain-General and Numerical Factors to Third-Grade Arithmetic Skills and Mathematical Learning Disability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cowan, Richard; Powell, Daisy – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
Explanations of the marked individual differences in elementary school mathematical achievement and mathematical learning disability (MLD or dyscalculia) have involved domain-general factors (working memory, reasoning, processing speed, and oral language) and numerical factors that include single-digit processing efficiency and multidigit skills…

Cognition and Literacy in English Language Learners at Risk for Reading Disabilities: A Latent Transition Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Swanson, H. Lee; Kudo, Milagros; Guzman-Orth, Danielle – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
This study investigated the prevalence and stability of latent classes at risk for reading disabilities (RD) in elementary-aged children whose first language is Spanish. To this end, children (N = 489) in Grades 1, 2, and 3 at Wave 1 were administered a battery of reading, vocabulary, and cognitive measures (short-term memory [STM], working memory…
