None of the LD groups performed worse on this retention task than the normal controls. Furthermore, the older LD Ss in the high verbal, low performance group actually retained somewhat more material than the normal control group. (Author/DLS)

Tabachnick, Barbara Gerson – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1979
The study was designed to investigate scatter produced by 105 learning disabled (LD) children (6 to 16 years old) and to compare Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) scatter with that produced by A. Kaufman's (1976) normal population. Range of scaled scores (i.e., scatter) was significantly greater for the LD group. (SBH)

Andolina, Charlene – 1978
Four age levels of 80 learning disabled (LD) students (7.5-8.11, 9.0-10.5, 10.6-11.11, and 12.0-13.5 years) participated in an examination of syntactic maturity and vocabulary richness in their oral language. Ss were shown two films without the sound turned on, and were then tape recorded as they told the story of the film in their own words.…

Gottlieb, Michael C.; Dickey, Diane F.
To investigate the effect of mirror-image and aligned relative positions with learning disabled (LD) children, and to explore the development of orientation ability in both LD and normal children, 30 LD and 30 normal Ss (6- and 8-years old) were given a task in which they were required to match their "horseshoe" to that of the examiner.…

Swanson, Lee – 1976
Evaluated with two age groups (mean age 8.1 years or 10.6 years) totaling 22 learning disabled children was whether there is an age related increase in recognition for visual nonverbal short term memory (STM) and the effects on STM of stimulus dimensionality, primacy, recency, and second choice responses. A serial recognition task was used to…

Algozzine, Bob; And Others – 1979
Three investigations examined the effects of IQ and chronological age (CA) on the calculation of severe discrepancy levels of 102 hypothetical and 125 actual severely learning disabled students (5 to 17 years old). Results indicated that IQ was highly influential on obtained severe discrepancy levels (SDLs) and related percentage discrepancies;…

Harmer, William R.; Williams, Fern – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1978
The article presents a statistical and descriptive comparison, with emphasis on math subtests, of the Wide Range Achievement Test and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test, based on scores obtained from clients (in grades 1-12) at a university-affiliated learning disabilities center. (SBH)

Stewart, Donald J.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1979
The study involving 60 Ss investigated whether response instability differs significantly among self-concept levels of elementary and junior high learning disabled (LD) students, whether these students differ significantly on item response instability, and whether response instability is significantly related to age, sex, race, or IQ. (SBH)

Lockavitch, Joseph F., Jr. – 1978
The relationship of lateral awareness and directionality with intellectual ability, academic achievement, and age was investigated with 288 first through third grade elementary school children. With the exception of first graders, Ss were administered three tests: the Lockavitch Test for Lateral Awareness and Directionality (LTLAD), the Short Form…
