Johnson, Donna; Obi, Sunday Christian – 1993
This article suggests that the use of mnemonic strategies may help learning disabled (LD) students in the area of spelling, which is of particular frustration to most LD students. It has been found that children with learning disabilities do not have a pathological difficulty with long-term memory, but rather a deficiency in the use of…

Lowenthal, B. – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 1988
Short-term memory deficits are examined as precursors of learning disabilities in early childhood. The theories of Jean Piaget, Robbie Case, and Joseph Torgesen are reviewed to construct a theoretical framework. Supportive experimental studies are described, followed by implications for remediation and intervention. (Author/JDD)

Hamachek, Alice L. – 1990
Study strategies are those specific reading skills that increase understanding, memory storage, and retrieval. Memory techniques are crucial to effective studying, and to subsequent performance in class and on written examinations. A major function of memory is to process information. Stimuli are picked up by sensory receptors and transferred to…

Wynn-Dancy, M. Lorraine; Gillam, Ronald B. – Topics in Language Disorders, 1997
Two metacognitive strategies, ARROW and BRIDGE, are presented that can be taught to students with language-based learning disabilities to help them manage the long-term memory demands of middle school and high school curricula. A metastrategy is presented that is designed to facilitate the development of strategic problem solving. (Author/CR)

Hendrickson, Homer – Academic Therapy, 1988
Spelling problems arise due to problems with form discrimination and inadequate visualization. A child's sequence of visual development involves learning motor control and coordination, with vision directing and monitoring the movements; learning visual comparison of size, shape, directionality, and solidity; developing visual memory or recall;…

Telzrow, Cathy F.; Speer, Barbara – Techniques, 1986
Effective intervention strategies for learning disabled students should recognize such cognitive deficiencies as weaknesses in attention, memory deficits, and problems in generalizing and abstracting information. Approaches which emphasize enhanced learning processes include: self-monitoring; repetition and deliberate instruction in control…
