Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Alloway, Tracy Packiam; Archibald, Lisa – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
The authors compared 6- to 11-year-olds with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and those with specific language impairment (SLI) on measures of memory (verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory) and learning (reading and mathematics). Children with DCD with typical language skills were impaired in all four areas of memory…

A study compared 11 Italian children (ages 7-11) with nonverbal learning disabilities (NVLD) to 49 controls on four tasks requiring visuospatial working memory and visual imagery. Results found the children with NVLD showed deficits in the use of visuospatial working memory and visual imagery. (Author/CR)

Toward a Research-Based Assessment of Dyslexia: Using Cognitive Measures To Identify Reading Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bell, Sherry Mee; McCallum, R. Steve; Cox, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
Elementary and middle school children (n=105) completed measures of reading achievement and cognitive abilities. Factor analysis produced three empirically and theoretically derived factors, auditory processing, visual processing/speed, and memory. Together the three factors combined predicted 61 to 85% of the variance associated with different…

Neuropsychological Differences between College Students with Learning Disabilities and Those with Mild Head Injury.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Beers, Sue R.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1994
Thirty-five college students with learning disabilities (LD) and 25 students with a history of mild head injury (MHI) were compared on tests of neuropsychological, psychological, and academic achievement. Students with LD performed poorly on linguistically oriented psychoeducational tests, whereas students with MHI showed cognitive deficits in…
