The authors reviewed the available empirical literature on these students, focusing on (a) the criteria by which the students were identified and (b) the students'…

Dunn, Michael W. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
A debate exists in the research community about replacing the traditional IQ/achievement discrepancy method for learning disability identification with a "response-to-intervention model". This new assessment paradigm uses a student's level of improvement with small-group or individual programming to determine a possible need for…

Peer reviewedGroff, Martin G.; Hubble, Larry M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised scores of a male delinquent sample were grouped by A. Bannatyne's classification of Wechsler's subtests, and these recategorized scores were compared with results of a previous study of learning disabled children. Findings failed to support a theory that learning disabled youth possess a unique…

Peer reviewedRyckman, David B.; Elrod, G. Franklin – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
Two samples of learning disabled (LD) children (a total of 208) were evaluated in order to reveal several subgroups of LD children within A. Bannatyne's recategorization paradigm. Five subgroups were shown with varied profiles. Recognition of this intragroup variation could greatly enhance the use of diagnostic instruments in developmental…

Peer reviewedGlutting, Joseph J.; Bear, George G. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1989
The study evaluated the utility of Kaufman-Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) subtests in differentiating learning-disabled children from students with other handicapping conditions, and compared K-ABC subtests with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised subtests. Results showed that subtest scores did not enhance differential…

Vance, Booney – 1979
The paper examines the usefulness of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) subtest score pattern for distinguishing between groups of handicapped children, specifically learning disabled and emotionally disturbed students. The author asserts that no single clear cut pattern characteristic of either population is likely to…

Peer reviewedClarizio, Harvey; Bernard, Robert – Psychology in the Schools, 1981

Profiles of 278 school-verified learning disabled children were compared to those of Educable Mentally Impaired (N=141), Emotionally Impaired (N=67), Otherwise Impaired (N=61), and Nonimpaired (N=294). Resulting data was not useful in differential…

Webster, Raymond E.; And Others – 1979
A recategorization system developed by Bannatyne to categorize subtest scatter from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) is used as an alternative to isolated analysis of each individual subtest. Reading disabled, learning disabled, and educable mentally handicapped students are categorized according to their performance…
