Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kahta, Shani; Schiff, Rachel – Annals of Dyslexia, 2016
The aim of the present study was to investigate implicit learning processes among adults with developmental dyslexia (DD) using a visual linguistic artificial grammar learning (AGL) task. Specifically, it was designed to explore whether the intact learning reported in previous studies would also occur under conditions including minimal training…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mammarella, Irene Cristina; Lucangeli, Daniela; Cornoldi, Cesare – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
Visuospatial working memory and its involvement in arithmetic were examined in two groups of 7- to 11-year-olds: one comprising children described by teachers as displaying symptoms of nonverbal learning difficulties (N = 21), the other a control group without learning disabilities (N = 21). The two groups were matched for verbal abilities, age,…

Brief Report: Cognitive and Behavioral Profiles in Persons with Smith-Magenis Syndrome.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dykens, Elisabeth M.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1997
A study examined the cognitive and behavioral profiles in 10 individuals (ages 14-51) with Smith-Magenis syndrome. Results found the individuals showed significant relative weaknesses in sequential processing and strengths in naming a partially completed drawing, identifying things, and in reading/decoding. Behavioral findings indicated…

Retention Differences as a Function of the Number of Verbal Lists Learned Simultaneously.
Underwood, Benton J.; Lund, Arnold M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1979
Subjects learned one, two, or three verbal lists simultaneously. Recall of the common list after 24 hours increased directly as the number of lists learned simultaneously increased. Assuming that simultaneous learning reduced interference, the interference was from extraexperimental sources of a proactive nature. (Author/CP)

Mathematical Learning Difficulties and PASS Cognitive Processes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kroesbergen, Evelyn H.; Van Luit, Johannes E. H.; Naglieri, Jack A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
This study examined relationships between mathematical learning difficulties (MLD) and the planning, attention, simultaneous, successive (PASS) theory of cognitive processing. PASS processes were assessed in 267 Dutch students with MLD. Results indicated students with MLD performed lower than peers on all "Cognitive Assessment System"…
