Chen, Xiaoying; Ye, Maolin; Chang, Lei; Chen, Weigang; Zhou, Renlai – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
Working memory (WM) deficiency is a primary reason for the poor academic performance of children with learning disabilities (LDs). Studies have shown that the WM of typical children could be improved through training, and WM training contributes to improving their fluid intelligence and academic achievement. However, few studies have investigated…

Murphy, Melissa M.; Mazzocco, Michele M. M.; Hanich, Laurie B.; Early, Martha C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2007
Researchers of mathematics learning disability (MLD) commonly use cutoff scores to determine which participants have MLD. Some researchers apply more restrictive cutoffs than others (e.g., performance below the 10th vs. below the 35th percentile). Different cutoffs may lead to groups of children that differ in their profile of math and related…
