De Weerdt, Frauke; Desoete, Annemie; Roeyers, Herbert – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Children with reading disabilities (RD, n = 17), mathematical disabilities (MD, n = 22), combined reading and mathematical disabilities (RD + MD, n = 28) and control peers (n = 45) were tested on behavioral inhibition with a Go/no-go task in a picture, letter and digit-modality. In contrast to children without RD, children with RD made…

Channell, Marie Moore; Loveall, Susan J.; Conners, Frances A. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Reading-related skills of youth with intellectual disability (ID) were compared with those of typically developing (TD) children of similar verbal ability level. The group with ID scored lower than the TD group on word recognition and phonological decoding, but similarly on orthographic processing and rapid automatized naming (RAN). Further,…

Deng, Ci-ping; Liu, Ming; Wei, Wei; Chan, Raymond C. K.; Das, J. P. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This study aims to measure the psychometric properties of the Das-Naglieri Cognitive Assessment System (D-N CAS) and to determine its clinical utility in a Chinese context. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to examine the construct validity of the Chinese version of the D-N CAS among a group of 567, normally developed children.…

Miniscalco, Carmela; Sandberg, Annika Dahlgren – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Reading skills at age 7-8 years were examined in a community-representative sample of 21 screened and clinically examined children with language delay (LD) followed prospectively from 2.5 years of age. The present study aimed to (1) determine whether these children with a history of LD had deficits in basic reading skills, i.e. decoding and…
