Ludlow, Barbara; Woodrum, Diane T. – 1981
The problem solving strategies of 17 learning disabled (LD) and 17 non LD boys at the upper elementary level were compared across four multiple discrimination tasks listing a split plot analysis of variance design. Ss were randomly assigned to one of two conditions in which feedback stimuli were either removed or maintained. Ss' performances on…

Copeland, Anne P.; Reiner, Ellen Milenko – 1982
In a study of the significance of private speech, 11 learning disabled (LD) and 16 non LD children (mean age 10 years) were given several cognitive tasks, and their private speech during play and school work was assessed. LD Ss performed less well on the cognitive tasks than non LD Ss. Children who used high rates of private speech performed in a…

Hall, Robert J.; Cadwell, Joel – 1984
Forty-six elementary-aged, learning disabled students were rated by their teachers on a 23-item temperament questionnaire (TTQ) during the Fall and Spring of the academic year. Cognitive ability and achievement information (Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery) were also collected during the first and last month of the school year. Posttest…

DiNapoli, Nicholas Paul; And Others – 1980
The Boehm Test of Basic Concepts (BTBC) (Boehm, 1971) was administered to 99 children (ages 7-10) who had been diagnosed as learning disabled and attended special schools in the New York area. It was hypothesized that the learning disabled children would exhibit a delay in the acquisition of the basic concepts, but would display a similar order of…

Thypin, Marilyn – 1981
The study involving 54 learning disabled (LD) students (7 to 11 years old) and 54 regular class students (3 to 7 years old) investigated the developmental patterns for the comprehension of complex temporal references. Three types of stimulus sentences were designed to test the comprehension of temporal references employing the temporal…

Pickering, EvaJean; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1987
The study examined the cartoon humor comprehension of 30 learning disabled and 30 non-handicapped boys in two age groups, eight- and twelve-year-olds. Significant main effects were found indicating a developmental lag in the cognitive structure necessary for understanding humor in the learning disabled subjects. (Author/DB)

Lovdahl, Karen E.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
Response latencies of 27 learning disabled (LD) and 27 normal control boys (8-11 years old) were compared on a picture-word interference task. Both LD and control Ss exhibited greater interference effects (longer response latencies) when naming pictures (versus naming words) and when categorizing words (versus categorizing pictures).

Copeland, Anne P.; And Others – 1981
The study examined the relationship between cognitive performance and the use of private speech in 20 learning disabled children, aged 81 to 108 months. Half of the children were hyperactive. Each child was given a series of cognitive tasks and played alone in a room for 7 minutes. Videotapes of the free play were later transcribed and coded…

Lorsbach, Thomas C.; Gray, Jeffrey W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1985
Learning disabled (LD) and non-LD boys (grades two and six) were given a false recognition task. Study and test items were manipulated to form visual, acoustic, and semantic distractors. Results suggest that LD students do not spontaneously use the effortful semantic processing strategy of elaborative rehearsal. (Author/CL)

Cullinan, Douglas; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1980
The Matching Familiar Figures Test was administered to 8- to 9- and 10- to 11-year-old learning disabled (N=30) and normal (N=30) boys. Time and error data were analyzed separately and in combination to yield two additional variables: impulsivity and efficiency. (Author)

Harris, Karen R. – 1982
To investigate task performance and the use of private speech and to examine the effects of a cognitive training approach, 30 learning disabled (LD) and 30 nonLD Ss (7 to 8 years old) were given a 17 piece wooden puzzle rigged so that it could not be completed correctly. Six variables were measured: (1) proportion of private speech that was task…

Stein, Debra K.; And Others – 1983
The ability of 20 learning disabled (LD) and 20 non-LD students (mean age of 9 years) to process temporal order information was assessed by employing a relative recency judgment task. Ss were administered lists composed of pictures of everyday objects and were then asked to indicate which item appeared latest on the list (that is, most recently).…

Wiss, Corinne A. – Canadian Journal for Exceptional Children, 1986
Thirty learning disabled (LD), mild (educable) mentally handicapped (EMH), and normally achieving children were administered a concept utilization task. Results indicated that, for certain conceptualization abilities, LD children are more like normal learners than like EMH children. It is suggested that cross-categorical placement increases the…
