Nolan, John D.; Driscoll, Rosemary L. – 1978
Memory storage and retrieval of learning disabled (LD) and normal children at two age levels (8-9 years and 11-12 years) were compared using a multitrial free recall paradigm. Stimuli were two lists of 20 high frequency nouns. Each child was tested individually on both lists on different days; one presentation was blocked, one random with…

Torgesen, Joseph K. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1979
A study of 30 normal and poor readers tested the hypothesis that reading disabled children's failure to apply effective strategies to rote-memory tasks is related to their lack of reflective knowledge about memory and their disorganized approach to cognitive tasks. Findings supported the view that many children fail to read well because they do…

Rutherford, Robert B., Jr.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
Findings indicated that, in general, seeing a training film in color did not enhance performance; in fact it appeared to have inhibited it. (Author/DLS)

Pelham, William E.; Ross, Alan O. – Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, 1977
The performance of poor readers and control children (grades one, three, and five) was compared on an incidental learning task involving short-term memory. (IM)

Blankenship, Colleen S. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1978
A demonstration-plus-feedback technique was applied in an attempt to reduce the systematic inversion errors in subtraction in nine learning disabled students (ages 9-11 years). Journal availability: see EC 112 927. (DLS)

Stevenson, Lillian P. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) protocols of 55 children (5 to 17 years old) referred for academic problems were examined using a factor-score approach in terms of clusters of subtests hypothesized to reflect functional differences in learning styles. (Author/SBH)

Haines, Deborah J.: Torgessen, Joseph K. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1979
The study investigated the effects of incentives for good performance on the selection and use of an efficient task strategy by 30 reading disabled and 30 normally reading second graders. (SBH)

Houck, Cherry; And Others – Academic Therapy, 1980
Mathematical learning disabilities (with emphasis on the learner characteristics and system inefficiencies) are discussed and two case studies illustrating commonalities which exist across ages are presented. (PHR)

Wong, Bernice Y. L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1980
The article reports the findings of two studies involving comprehension and retention in learning disabled (N=96) and normally achieving (N=64) second and sixth graders. Results were interpreted to support J. Torgesen's conceptualization of learning disabled children as inactive learners. (Author/SBH)

Weber, Donald B. – 1975
Primacy and recency aspects of short term memory (STM) were investigated with 30 learning disabled (LD) and 30 normal children, all with a mean age of 113 months. The pretest experiment compared the serial position curve performance of LD and normal children when seven-digit series were presented visually or auditorially. The second experiment…

Hirst, Irene – 1976
Reviewed were several research studies using varying dosages of methylphenidate (Ritalin) in contrast with thioridazine and amphetamine under various behavioral conditions and situations with hyperactive, emotionally disturbed, and learning disabled children. Results from the studies with hyperactive children indicated that drug treatment was…
