Abstract Categorization Ability as a Predictor of Learning Disability Classification.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Scott, Marcia S.; And Others – Intelligence, 1986
This study evaluated the diagnostic validity of a task measuring abstract categorization ability in learning disabled (LD) and non-LD children. Data showed that the component of abstract category knowledge that best disciminates LD children from non-LD, is the knowledge of how members of abstract categories differ from each other.
