Liu, Saifang; Cheng, Chen; Wu, Peiqian; Zhang, Liming; Wang, Zhengjun; Wei, Wenjun; Chen, Yuan; Zhao, Jingjing – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
A number of previous studies have identified cognitive deficits in developmental dyscalculia (DD). Yet, most of these studies were in alphabetic languages, whereas few of them examined Chinese DD. Here, we conducted a study aiming to determine the cognitive factors associated with DD in Chinese children. Five candidate cognitive factors of…

Herold, Katherine H.; Bock, Allison M.; Murphy, Melissa M.; Mazzocco, Michèle M. M. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2020
When a student struggles with a mathematics task, adults may rephrase or expand initial task instructions to clarify instructions or scaffold problem solving. Yet expanded instructions may not benefit all children, especially children with a mathematics learning disability (MLD). Here, we explore whether expanded instructions differentially affect…

Kim, Sohyun An; Kasari, Connie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Working memory is an important component of executive functioning, an area of difficulty for many autistic children. However, executive functioning and working memory are highly malleable throughout childhood, and various student-level and environmental factors play important roles in their development. This study used the Early Childhood…

Benassi, Erika; Camia, Michela; Giovagnoli, Sara; Scorza, Maristella – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2022
A growing body of literature indicates that children with Specific Learning Disorder (SpLD) are at risk of internalising and externalising problems. Instead, less is known about the factors that may influence this symptomatology. For instance, a few studies investigated the extent to which impaired school well-being could predict internalising and…

Dunn, Michael; Zajic, Matthew C.; Berninger, Virginia – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2021
Dysgraphia, a specific learning disability, impairs legible and automatic letter production by hand, which can interfere with written composing. The goal of the current study was not to investigate effective methods for teaching self-regulated writing to students with dysgraphia, but rather to investigate their self that is involved in their…

Foreman-Murray, Lindsay; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
Students' explanations of their mathematical thinking and conclusions have become a greater part of the assessment landscape in recent years. With a sample of 71 fourth-grade students at risk for mathematics learning disabilities, we investigated the relation between student accuracy in comparing the magnitude of fractions and the quality of…
