Peer reviewedDuane, Drake D. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1989
In response to a previous paper (EC 212 858) regarding the neurodevelopmental evidence for the basis of dyslexia, this paper offers corroborating evidence of neurological difference in dyslexic persons and stresses the need for more research on brain mechanisms in disorders of reading. (DB)

Peer reviewedErnhart, Claire B.; Needleman, Herbert L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
Opposing views regarding the connection between lead exposure and cognitive impairment are presented. C. B. Ernhart states that no study has yet proved that low-level lead exposure is detrimental to child development, while H. L. Needleman asserts that previous research studies have proven conclusively that such a connection exists. (CB)

Peer reviewedObrzut, John E.; Hynd, George W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
Issues and developmental considerations in outcome and treatment of head injury in children are considered. Focus is on appropriate assessment practices in the areas of psychoeducational development, motor and cognitive deficits, and neuropsychological deficits. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedCoplin, Jane W.; Morgan, Sam B. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1988
Subtypes of learning disabilities based on neuropsychological, developmental, and behavioral perspectives are reviewed. A multidimensional perspective integrating aspects of all three approaches is proposed which draws a distinction between production and mediational subtypes of learning disorders and stresses an ideographic approach to assessment…

Peer reviewedKamhi, Alan G. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1992
This article responds to Sylvia Richardson (EC 602 667), noting a failure to address the definitional issues associated with dyslexia. A definition of dyslexia is offered that considers the nature of the processing limitation underlying the disorder as well as the developmental changes that occur in the manifestation of the disorder.

Peer reviewedArmstrong, F. Daniel; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1993
This article reviews the effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on the central nervous system and the educational implications of increasing numbers of students with perinatal HIV infection and pediatric acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Studies on the relationship between HIV and child development are urged. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedRichardson, Sylvia O. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1992
This article offers a historical overview of the neurological aspects of dyslexia (originally seen as related to aphasia) and a review of familial and genetic factors in developmental dyslexia. Psycholinguistic models of dyslexia as they relate to neurological concepts are presented and the evolution of successful remedial methods is summarized.…
