Social Cognitive Processes in Children with Specific Learning Disorder: The Importance of Language
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Katharine M. Bailey; Nancie Im-Bolter – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2025
Children with specific learning disorder (SLD) have poor academic skills, but they also experience difficulties with their peers, including an inability to recognize interpersonal conflict, infer emotion, and resolve social conflict. In addition, children with SLD are known to have problems with language. The importance of language to social…

Daniel B. Hajovsky; Kathrin E. Maki; Christopher R. Niileksela; Ryan J. McGill – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2025
Although specific learning disabilities (SLD) represent the largest category for which school-age children receive special education services, the science and practice of SLD identification continues to evade consensus. Our goal is to bring together trainers and researchers with different perspectives on SLD identification to help spur a move…

Procedural learning difficulties are commonly reported in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), yet the neural basis of this impairment remains unclear. This study addressed this gap by examining the correlation between cortical oscillatory activity and procedural learning of a sequence of finger movements in children with and…

Single Deficit, Comorbidity or Varying Degrees of Dysfunction? New Directions to the Study of Learning Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Evgenia-Peristera Kouki; Antriani Tsagkaraki; George C. Spanoudis; Timothy C. Papadopoulos – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
Research on neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) has led us to refine our theoretical and methodological approaches. We explore whether new deficit clusters in line with the Research Domain Criteria, a novel multifactorial framework, optimally explain known conditions such as ADHD, DLD, or SLD in reading. Following the PRISMA guidelines for…

Enhancing Situational Mastery Experience and Willingness to Learn with Game Elements in Children with Specific Learning Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Manuel Ninaus; Verena Dresen; Stefan E. Huber; Kristian Kiili; Pierpaolo Dondio; Elisabeth M. Weiss; Korbinian Moeller – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2025
Children with dyscalculia show less self-efficacy and more anxiety while engaging in mathematical tasks. In addition to difficulties in basic mathematical skills, such non-cognitive factors negatively impact their mathematics achievement. In contrast, game elements have been found to increase performance, motivation, and task engagement.…

Catherine Antalek; Fiona Dixon; Elisabeth Herbert; Joanna Kolak – UK Department for Education, 2025
According to the SEND Code of Practice (DfE, 2015), cognition and learning difficulties encompass a wide range of needs, including general and specific learning difficulties. These difficulties affect various areas of learning including literacy, numeracy, and the acquisition of subject-specific knowledge and skills and may be linked to underlying…
