Creeping Reification: Functional Versus Symptomatic Treatment in the Diagnosis "Minimal Brain Dysfunction"

Peer reviewed

Hilsheimer, George von – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1973

The term minimal brain damage is evaluated in the light of several experiments on about 200 adolescents: no treatment in a democratic children's community; the effect of psychic energizers; electrosleep; biofeedback training for alpha wave desynchronization; deconditioning of phobias; and nutritional/medical treatment.

Beginning Reading Instruction for Children with Minimal Brain Dysfunction.

Peer reviewed

Stein, Claudia L'E.; Goldman, Jacquelin – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980

The study involving 63 children (6 to 8 years old) compared the effects of two reading programs, the Palo Alto Reading Program and DISTAR, on primary grade children with reading problems. Results indicated that use of an operant reading program (DISTAR) was more effective than the Palo Alto program. (SBH)
