Compton, Donald L.; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Lambert, Warren; Hamlett, Carol – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the cognitive and academic profiles associated with learning disability (LD) in reading comprehension, word reading, applied problems, and calculations. The goal was to assess the specificity hypothesis, in which unexpected underachievement associated with LD is represented in terms of distinctive patterns…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Compton, Donald L.; Fuchs, Douglas; Hollenbeck, Kurstin N.; Hamlett, Carol L.; Seethaler, Pamela M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2011
The purpose of this study was to explore the utility of a dynamic assessment (DA) of algebraic learning in predicting third graders' development of mathematics word-problem difficulty. In the fall, 122 third-grade students were assessed on a test of math word-problem skill and DA of algebraic learning. In the spring, they were assessed on…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – School Psychology Review, 1990
Thirty special educators of 91 mildly and moderately handicapped students were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 curriculum-based measurement (CBM) groups or to control group. Found that use of CBM with both performance indicator and skills analysis resulted in more specific instructional changes and better student achievement than CBM with performance…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – School Psychology Review, 1993
Examined students' rates of academic growth (slopes of achievement). Using standard Curriculum-Based Measurement procedures in reading, spelling, and mathematics, students in Year 1 (n=546) were measured weekly; students in Year 2 (n=2,511) were measured at least monthly. Results provided corroborating data across years and interesting patterns…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1991
Nineteen special educators implemented Curriculum-Based Measurement with a total of 36 learning-disabled math pupils in grades 2-8 to examine the effects of goal line feedback. Results indicated comparable levels and slopes of student performance across treatment conditions, although goal line feedback was associated with greater performance…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; And Others – Diagnostique, 1994
This study investigated technical features of a curriculum-based measurement (CBM) system that addresses a concepts and applications mathematics curriculum. Six elementary educators implemented the concepts/applications CBM system, along with a computation CBM system, with 140 students, including 12 with learning disabilities. The system indexed…
