Auerbach, Judith G.; Gross-Tsur, Varda; Manor, Orly; Shalev, Ruth S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
The authors examined behavior problems in a matched sample of 58 youths with persistent dyscalculia (PD) and nonpersistent dyscalculia (NPD). Participants were classified as having dyscalculia at age 10-11 years. Parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist for their children at ages 10-11, 13-14, and 16-17 years, while the youths did so at the…

Lee, Dong Hun; Oakland, Thomas; Jackson, Gina; Glutting, Joseph – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
Group differences and prevalence rates for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in a matched sample of college freshmen (n = 956) and their parents (n = 956) were investigated for gender and race (African American and Caucasian) effects using current self-report and retrospective parent-report ratings. On self-report, compared…

Schuck, Sabrina E. B.; Crinella, Francis M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2005
The major cognitive deficit of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is impaired executive function (EF), a cognitive component that some theorists believe to be the primary substrate for the general intelligence ("g") factor. We review the constructs of "g" and EF and the relevant research findings on ADHD. We then analyze…

Antshel, Kevin M.; Khan, Fahad M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
The cognitive and behavioral symptoms of nonverbal learning disabilities (NLD) have been described by previous investigators. Nevertheless, we know far less about the potential genetic contributions that may predispose a child to have NLD. An endophenotype model was investigated in 5 samples of children ages 9 to 15 years: NLD (n = 32); reading…

Tsal, Yehoshua; Shalev, Lilach; Mevorach, Carmel – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2005
The performance of participants with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) relative to control participants was measured on four tasks uniquely assessing the functions of selective attention, executive attention, sustained attention, and orienting of attention. The results showed that deficits in sustained attention were the most…

Kooistra, Libbe; Crawford, Susan; Dewey, Deborah; Cantell, Marja; Kaplan, Bonnie J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2005
This study investigated whether the likelihood of motor impairment in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) increases with the presence of other disorders, and whether the cooccurring diagnoses of reading disability (RD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) account for the motor deficits seen in ADHD. A total of 291…

Fastenau, Philip S.; Shen, Jianzhao; Dunn, David W.; Austin, Joan K. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
This study assessed rates of learning disabilities (LD) by several psychometric definitions in children with epilepsy and identified risk factors. Participants (N = 173, ages 8-15 years) completed IQ screening, academic achievement testing, and structured interviews. Children with significant head injury, chronic physical conditions, or mental…

Monuteaux, Michael C.; Faraone, Stephen V.; Herzig, Kathleen; Navsaria, Neha; Biederman, Joseph – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2005
The familial relationship between dyscalculia and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was assessed. We conducted a familial risk analysis using probands with and without ADHD of both genders and their first-degree relatives. Participants were assessed with structured diagnostic interviews and a cognitive test battery. We found elevated…

Konold, Timothy R.; Glutting, Joseph J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
This study employed a correlated trait-correlated method application of confirmatory factor analysis to disentangle trait and method variance from measures of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder obtained at the college level. The two trait factors were "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition" ("DSM-IV")…

Allen, Terry W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
Results of a study involving control, learning disabled, and attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADD-H) children (14 per group, aged 8-10 years) revealed that LD and ADD-H Ss habituated more rapidly, but they also encoded fewer aspects of the stimulus field than control Ss. (CL)

Pelham, William E.; Milich, Richard – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1984
Research and research needs on the peer relationships of hyperactive children are reviewed. Among topics studied are negative perceptions by peers and disruptive classroom behavior. Topics which need to be addressed include effects of age, sex, and cognitive deficits on relations. (CL)

Brown, Ronald T. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
Eighty-eight children were identified as having attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADD-H) and 58 with attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity (ADD). When the two subgroups were compared, teachers rated ADD-H children more problematic. Teacher ratings could discriminate ADD from ADD-H groups. Findings corroborated distinctions…

Sandson, Thomas A.; Bachna, Kristie J.; Morin, Mark D. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2000
Adults (N=58) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and 29 age-and education-matched controls were evaluated for right hemisphere dysfunction. Findings support the concept of right hemisphere dysfunction in a subset of patients with ADHD, although this subset did not represent a distinct clinical subgroup in terms of medication response,…

Atkins, Marc S.; Pelham, William E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1991
This article describes school-based assessment procedures related to attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, including teacher rating measures, direct observations in classrooms and on playgrounds, peer ratings and sociometric measures, and permanent product measures such as academic performance. Components of a comprehensive assessment and…

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…
