Contesse, Valentina A.; Gage, Nicholas A.; Lane, Holly B. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
Intensive academic interventions help address the learning difficulties of students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs). Challenging behaviors exhibited during instruction can have a negative impact on the overall effectiveness of an academic intervention. In addition to academic interventions, students with SLD may benefit from behavioral…

Berninger, Virginia W.; Abbott, Robert D.; Augsburger, Amy; Garcia, Noelia – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2009
Fourth graders with learning disabilities in transcription (handwriting and spelling), LD-TD, and without LD-TD (non-LD), were compared on three writing tasks (letters, sentences, and essays), which differed by level of language, when writing by pen and by keyboard. The two groups did not differ significantly in Verbal IQ but did in handwriting,…

Gelzheiser, Lynn M.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1987
The performance of 60 learning disabled and normally achieving children (ages 9-12), either given minimal instruction to use organizing strategies or engaged only in practice with a free recall task, were compared. Factors underlying the unexpected finding that strategy use did not account for learning disabled students' poor recall are discussed.…

Thurlow, Martha; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1983
Seventeen pairs of learning disabled (LD) and normal elementary school students were observed to determine instructional and responding times. While the time allocated to activities and tasks did not differ for the two groups, LD students received more individual instruction and teacher approval than did non-LD students. (Author/SW)

Luchow, Jed P.; Shepherd, Margaret Jo – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1981
The results suggested that on a perceptual task not related to reading or mathematics, the addition of input from tactile and auditory sensory modalities does not improve learning performance and, in certain combinations, actually interferes with such performance. (Author/SBH)

Simmons, Deborah C.; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1988
The study examined the relationship between proximity of critical textual information and selected metacognitive behaviors of 29 elementary-age subjects. Subjects receiving collapsed versions of passages reported use of higher percentages of text-based strategies, whereas over 50 percent of the responses of subjects receiving the dispersed text…

Koorland, Mark A.; Wolking, William D. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
The effects of reinforcement contingencies on task performance of bisensory missing words were studied with two students (about nine years old): one learning disabled (LD) male with an auditory preference and one LD female with a visual preference. Reinforcement contingencies were found to control both students' performances. (Author/SEW)

Reisberg, L. E. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
To examine individual differences among 20 elementary grade learning disabled poor readers in use of contextual cuing to aid word identification, words were presented in both connected text and in isolation. Group statistical analysis found a significant effect favoring context over isolation, although individual analysis favored isolation for…

The article reports the findings of two studies involving comprehension and retention in learning disabled (N=96) and normally achieving (N=64) second and sixth graders. Results were interpreted to support J. Torgesen's conceptualization of learning disabled children as inactive learners. (Author/SBH)
