Zarina Zhumanbayeva; Larissa Shkutina; Kuralay Kulmukanova; Kazyna Zhunussova; Bakhyt Rysbekova – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2023
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficiency of using the neuropsychological approach to solve the learning difficulties of schoolchildren. An empirical study summarized the evaluation of the correction program carried out using neuropsychological games and exercises with one hundred students in the second grade of the elementary school. The…

Merced-Nieves, Francheska M.; Chelonis, John; Pantic, Ivan; Schnass, Lourdes; Téllez-Rojo, Martha M.; Braun, Joseph M.; Paule, Merle G.; Wright, Rosalind J.; Wright, Robert O.; Curtin, Paul – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2022
Children are exposed to many trace elements throughout their development. Given their ubiquity and potential to have effects on children's neurodevelopment, these exposures are a public health concern. This study sought to identify trace element mixture-associated deficits in learning behavior using operant testing in a prospective cohort. We…

Taylor Lesner; Ben Clarke; Derek Kosty; Geovanna Rodriguez; Elizabeth L. Budd; Christian Doabler – Grantee Submission, 2025
This secondary analysis of data from a randomized control trial of an early mathematics intervention, ROOTS, explored whether patterns of intervention response were best categorized by the typical response/non-response binary or a more complex framework with additional response profiles. Participants included kindergarten students at risk for…

Hannonen, Riitta; Komulainen, Jorma; Riikonen, Raili; Ahonen, Timo; Eklund, Kenneth; Tolvanen, Asko; Keskinen, Paivi; Nuuja, Anja – Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2012
Aim: The study aimed to assess the effects of diabetes-related risk factors, especially severe hypoglycaemia, on the academic skills of children with early-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Method: The study comprised 63 children with T1DM (31 females, 32 males; mean age 9y 11mo, SD 4mo) and 92 comparison children without diabetes (40…

Burgoyne, Kelly; Duff, Fiona J.; Nielsen, Dea; Ulicheva, Anastasia; Snowling, Margaret J. – Language Learning, 2016
We present the case study of MB--a bilingual child with Down syndrome (DS) who speaks Russian (first language [L1]) and English (second language [L2]) and has learned to read in two different alphabets with different symbol systems. We demonstrate that, in terms of oral language, MB is as proficient in Russian as English, with a mild advantage for…

Salminen, Jonna; Koponen, Tuire; Räsänen, Pekka; Aro, Mikko – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2015
Weaknesses in early number skills have been found to be a risk factor for later difficulties in mathematical performance. Nevertheless, only a few intervention studies with young children have been published. In this study, the responsiveness to early support in kindergarteners with most severe difficulties was examined with two different computer…

Acar, Esin – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2012
Understanding of what is children's deficiency about learning mathematics and their negative feelings about themselves in math classrooms may enable us an essential knowledge for comprehending the failure mathematics in elementary school classrooms. This article presents the studies about the children with learning difficulties in mathematics and…

Farran, Emily K.; Blades, Mark; Boucher, Jill; Tranter, Lesley J. – Developmental Science, 2010
Individuals with Williams syndrome (WS) show a specific deficit in visuo-spatial abilities. This finding, however, derives mainly from performance on small-scale laboratory-based tasks. This study investigated large-scale route learning in individuals with WS and two matched control groups (moderate learning difficulty group [MLD], typically…

Ames, Catherine S.; Jarrold, Chris – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
Individuals with Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience difficulties understanding the non-verbal cues conveyed by others that provide symbolic information about relationships between self, other, and environmental events. This study examined whether these difficulties reflect underlying problems in the identification of temporal…

Bellert, Anne – Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties, 2009
This article focuses on the cognitive factors that impact on students in the middle school years experiencing learning difficulties in basic mathematics. It begins with a review of selected literature providing information about the learning difficulties in mathematics. Focus then shifts to an implementation of the "Quicksmart"…

diSessa, Andrea A. – Cognition and Instruction, 2004
The premise of this article is that the study of representation is valuable and important for mathematics and science students. Learning about representation should go beyond learning specific, sanctioned representations emphasized in standard curricula (graphs, tables, etc.) to include principles and design strategies that apply to any scientific…

Cushon, Jennifer A.; Vu, Lan T. H.; Janzen, Bonnie L.; Muhajarine, Nazeem – Early Education and Development, 2011
Research Findings: The purpose of this study was to investigate how neighborhoods and neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage impact school readiness over time. School readiness was measured using the Early Development Instrument (EDI) for 3 populations of kindergartners in 2001, 2003, and 2005 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. EDI results…

Kieran, Carolyn – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1981
The concept of equivalence is shown to be an elusive one that provides difficulty for preschoolers through college students. The idea persists that the equal sign is a "do something," or operator symbol, rather than a symbol for an equivalence relation. (MP)

Cotugno, Albert J. – Psychology in the Schools, 1982
Tested the effectiveness of a cognitive control approach in the treatment of special education learning handicapped children. Employed a pretest-posttest design, using a special education treatment group, a special education control group, and a regular class comparison group. The special education treatment group made significant gains. (Author)
