Moats, Louisa Cook – Annals of Dyslexia, 1983
Spelling error analysis performed on 27 dyslexic fourth to eighth graders and 27 normal second graders revealed no significant differences in phonetic accuracy, level of maturity, or incidence of serial order confusion. Findings did not support prevailing approaches characterizing dyslexic students as phonetically inaccurate spellers. (CL)

Rubin, Hyla; Liberman, Isabelle Y. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1983
Analysis of errors on naming and recognition tasks performed by 34 children (4-12 years old) with language disabilities revealed a specific problem with naming rather than a more general vocabulary deficit and indicated four major types of errors, the most frequent of which were semantic substitutions.

Invernizzi, Marcia; Worthy, M. Jo – Reading Psychology, 1989
Investigates the differences in spelling error features among learning disabled and normal students across four grade levels of spelling achievement. Finds support for the theory of developmental word knowledge and for the position that learning disabled and normally achieving children acquire aspects of orthography in similar progressions. (RS)

Kopp, Katherine H.; Stowitschek, Joseph J. – Teacher Education and Special Education, 1982
Teacher planning procedures employing percentage-based measurement summaries and subsequent implementation of the results of planning with and without error analysis resulted in moderate increases in correct mathematics computation of learning disabled 10-13 year olds. No significant differences were found for presence or absence of error…

Ackerman, Brian P. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1992
First, second, and fourth graders listened to stories containing an inconsistent goal and outcome. Children provided a causal inference for the inconsistency, and attributed the inference to themselves or the story. Children's attributions were related to whether the story contained causal information linking the inconsistent events. (BC)

Fujiki, Martin; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1987
Language impaired subjects (N=10) at each age level from 6 through 10 were evaluated for ability to correct grammatical violations of word order. Normal 6-, 7-, and 8-year-olds performed better than language impaired age-matched peers, and language-impaired 9- and 10-year-olds performed better than younger impaired subjects. (Author/DB)

Morton, L. L. – Canadian Journal for Exceptional Children, 1985
An investigation of spelling proficiency at the grade four level (N=174) revealed (1) pronounced gender differences favoring females, (2) program differences for two grade four spelling programs, (3) standardized test differences, (4) psychometric inconsistencies between grade equivalent and standard scores, and (5) a distinct error pattern for…

Bookman, Myra O. – Academic Therapy, 1984
Comparison of spelling errors of two groups of diagnosed learning disabled college students with a control group of fifth graders revealed different developmental scores, with spelling-only impaired LD students clearly discriminable from fifth graders. It was recommended that errors be examined for their information value. (CL)

Gable, Robert A.; And Others – Reading Teacher, 1988
Presents a method for collecting, categorizing, and precisely analyzing spelling errors. Suggests several corrective spelling strategies. (MM)

Tatsuoka, Kikumi K. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1985
A probablistic approach to classification and diagnosis of erroneous rules of operations that result from misconceptions ("bugs") in a procedural domain of arithmetic is introcuced. Variability of response errors is explicitly treated through item response theory. As a concrete example, a signed-number subtraction dataset is analyzed.…

Shows how error pattern analysis can be helpful with children learning to spell. (FL)

Eliason, Michele J.; Richman, Lynn C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
Comparison of 30 learning disabled (LD) children, ages 7 to 13, and controls on a computerized test of attentional skills indicated LD subjects committed more omission errors and responded at a slower rate but did not differ from the controls on commission errors, suggesting inefficient allocation of processing resources rather than attentional…

Mason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo to work through a maze is described. Suggested programs to help students learn to debug programs are also included, along with the story of the original "computer bug." (MNS)

Gottlieb, Barbara W. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1982
Two competing theories of social facilitation, one stressing audience presence and the other stressing the threat of evaluation, were tested to determine their efficacy in predicting oral reading performance of 24 academically handicapped children (9- to 12-year-olds). (Author)

Magnusson, Eva; Naucler, Kerstan – International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 1991
Data from a longitudinal study matching language-disordered and linguistically normal children are used to assess reading development from grade one to grade four. It is shown that good comprehenders use meaningful units more frequently than do poor comprehenders, that their reading errors are more often negligible, and that they violate syntactic…
