Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ouyang, Xiangzi; Zhang, Xiao; Räsänen, Pekka; Koponen, Tuire; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina – Child Development, 2023
Using cognitive diagnostic modeling (CDM), this study identified subtypes of mathematics learning disability (MLD) based on children's numerical skills and examined the language and spatial precursors of these subtypes. Participants were 99 MLD children and 420 low achievers identified from 1839 Finnish children (966 boys) who were followed from…

Hemispheric Processing and Cognitive Styles in Learning-disabled and Normal Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Guyer, B. LaRue; Friedman, Morton P. – Child Development, 1975
A hemispheric specialization of function paradigm was used to test cognitive skill and cognitive style in learning disabled and "normal" boys between the ages of 7 and 12. Discussion emphasizes the need for more information on nonverbal processing skills to aid in developing verbal representational systems. (JMB)

Storage-Retrieval Processes of Normal and Learning-Disabled Children: A Stages-of-Learning Analysis of Picture-Word Effects.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Howe, Mark L.; And Others – Child Development, 1985
A stages-of-learning model was used to examine effects of picture-word manipulation on storage and retrieval differences between disabled and nondisabled grade 2 and 6 children. Results showed that disabled students are poorer at memory tasks and in developing the ability to reliably retrieve information than nondisabled children. (Author/RH)

Processing of Rapid Auditory Stimuli in School-Age Children Referred for Evaluation of Learning Disorders.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Waber, Deborah P.; Weiler, Michael D.; Wolff, Peter H.; Bellinger, David; Marcus, David J.; Ariel, Raya; Forebes, Peter; Wypig, David – Child Development, 2001
Compared the processing of rapid auditory stimuli on two-tone auditory discrimination tasks by 7- to 11-year-olds with learning impairments (LI) and those without learning impairments (non-LI). Found that LI children committed more errors, but the effects of timing were comparable. Obtained same results with a sample of good and poor readers. Task…
