Holm, Marja E.; Aunio, Pirjo; Björn, Piia M.; Klenberg, Liisa; Korhonen, Johan; Hannula, Markku S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2018
This study investigates behavioral executive functions (EFs) in the mathematics classroom context among adolescents with different mathematics performance levels. The EF problems were assessed by teachers using a behavioral rating inventory. Using cutoff scores on a standardized mathematics assessment, groups with mathematics difficulties (MD; n =…

Paraprofessionals in Learning Disabilties.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lindsey, Jimmy D. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
Results indicated that learning disabled (LD) children performed less well than non-LD children on tasks requiring internal strategies or plans. With one exception, hyperactive and nonhyperactive LD children performed similarly. Across groups, children with more behavioral problems also were children who used less mature cognitive strategies.…

A Developmental Analysis of Visual and Auditory Sustained Attention and Reflection-Impulsivity in Hyperactive and Normal Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brown, Ronald T. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1982
Multivariate analyses, followed by univariate tests, indicated that the normal children increased in sustained attention efficiency with age to both visual and auditory stimuli. Hyperactive children (9-14 years old) increased in sustained attention efficiency with age to auditory but not visual stimuli. (Author)

Impulsivity and Psychoeducational Intervention in Hyperactive Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brown, Ronald T. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
Two psychoeducational procedures were investigated for their effects on impulsivity in 120 hyperactive children in two groups: those receiving stimulant drug therapy and those not receiving stimulant drug therapy. Results indicated that the use of psychoeducational treatment approaches are of value in altering the impulsive responses of…

Biofeedback-Induced Relaxation Training and Impulsivity, Attention to Task, and Locus of Control among Hyperactive Boys.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Omizo, Michael M.; Michael, William B. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1982
It was concluded that biofeedback-induced relaxation training increased attention to task and reduced impulsivity but did not affect the measure of locus of control on the population studied. (Author/SW)

Toward a Behavioral Model of Academic Remediation with Learning Disabled Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Treiber, Frank A.; Lahey, Benjamin B. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
Characteristics of a behavioral approach to remediating academic deficits of learning disabled (LD) children are reviewed. The behavioral approach encompasses individualization and mastery learning, direct teaching, and an emphasis on measurement. (SEW)

A Comparison of Neuropsychological Test Profiles of Children with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder and/or Learning Disorder.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Korkman, Marit; Pesonen, Aino-Elina – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1994
Comparison of eight-year-old children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (n=21), learning disorder (LD) (n=12), or both (n=27) on neuropsychological measures found that ADHD children were impaired in control and inhibition of impulses; children with LD in phonological awareness, verbal memory span, storytelling, and verbal IQ;…
