Casali, Nicole; Meneghetti, Chiara; Tinti, Carla; Re, Anna Maria; Sini, Barbara; Passolunghi, Maria Chiara; Valenti, Antonella; Montesano, Lorena; Pellegrino, Gerardo; Carretti, Barbara – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Understanding the individual qualities sustaining students with and without specific learning disabilities (SLDs) is key to supporting their academic achievement and well-being. In this study, we investigated the differences between students with and without SLDs in terms of intraindividual factors (soft skills and study-related factors), academic…

Cornoldi, Cesare; Rivella, Carlotta; Montesano, Lorena; Toffalini, Enrico – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Letters and numbers are different domains, and their differentiation increases with schooling. It has nonetheless been argued that reading alphabetic and numerical materials partly involves the same processes, even in adults. Whether individuals with dyslexia have difficulty reading and writing numbers remains to be established. This study…

Cho, Jeung-Ryeul; McBride, Catherine – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
This study examined whether different cognitive correlates are associated with spelling of different target types, such as phonologically consistent and inconsistent syllables, of Korean Hangul among 94 five-year-old first language (L1) Korean children and 41 foreign language (FL) learners who are Hong Kong Chinese college students. Korean…

Del Tufo, Stephanie N.; Earle, F. Sayako – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Developmental language disorder (DLD) and developmental dyslexia (DD) are two prevalent subtypes of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs; "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" [5th ed.; DSM-5]). Yet, little information is available regarding the distinct challenges faced by adults with DLD and/or DD in college. The…

Cressman, Markus N.; Liljequist, Laura – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014
The "Woodcock-Johnson III" Tests of Achievement grade norms versus age norms were examined in the calculation of discrepancy scores in 202 college students. Difference scores were calculated between the "Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-3rd Edition" Full Scale IQ and the "Woodcock-Johnson III" Total Achievement,…

Klassen, Robert M.; Tze, Virginia M. C.; Hannok, Wanwisa – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2013
In this article the authors report a meta-analysis that examines the association between internalizing problems (anxiety and depressive symptoms) and learning disabilities (LD) in adults. Two hypotheses about the relationship between internalizing problems and LD in adults are posited and tested: the abeyance hypothesis (internalizing problems…

Shany, Michal; Wiener, Judith; Assido, Michal – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2013
This study investigated the association among friendship, global self-worth, and domain-specific self-concepts in 102 university students with and without learning disabilities (LD). Students with LD reported lower global self-worth and academic self-concept than students without LD, and this difference was greater for women. Students with LD also…

Proctor, Briley – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2012
This study examined the relationship between cognitive abilities and math achievement within a sample of college students with learning disabilities (LD). The cognitive abilities were seven areas identified by Stratum II of the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory of cognitive abilities, in addition to the eighth area of Working Memory. Math…

Kane, Steven T.; Walker, John H.; Schmidt, George R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2011
This article describes the development and validation of the "Learning Difficulties Assessment" (LDA), a normed and web-based survey that assesses perceived difficulties with reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, listening, concentration, memory, organizational skills, sense of control, and anxiety in college students. The LDA is designed to…

Kirby, John R.; Silvestri, Robert; Allingham, Beth H.; Parrila, Rauno; La Fave, Chantal B. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
The present study describes the self-reported learning strategies and study approaches of college and university students with and without dyslexia and examines the relationship of those characteristics with reading ability. Students with (n = 36) and without (n = 66) dyslexia completed tests measuring reading rate, reading comprehension, reading…

Norvilitis, Jill M.; Sun, Ling; Zhang, Jie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
This study examined ADHD symptomatology and college adjustment in 420 participants--147 from the United States and 273 from China. It was hypothesized that higher levels of ADHD symptoms in general and the inattentive symptom group in particular would be related to decreased academic and social adjustment, career decision-making self-efficacy, and…

Sparks, Richard L.; Lovett, Benjamin J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2009
The purpose of this study is to provide an up-to-date review of the literature on postsecondary students classified as having learning disabilities (LD). The review focused on the criteria by which students were classified as LD and the cognitive and achievement characteristics of the participants. From almost 400 studies, only 30% were empirical…

Sparks, Richard L.; Lovett, Benjamin J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2009
This study examined the consequences of classifying postsecondary students as learning disabled (LD) using five objective sets of criteria: IQ-achievement discrepancies (1.0 to 1.49 SD, 1.5 to 1.99 SD, and greater than or equal to 2.0 SD), DSM-IV criteria, and chronic educational impairment beginning in childhood. The participants were 378…

Cordoni, Barbara K.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
Consistent with earlier research using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the WISC-Revised, the Information, Digit Span, and Digit Symbol (i.e., Coding) subtests contribute substantially and independently to group differentiation. A. Bannatyne's Sequential factor also discriminates between these groups. (Author)
