Branch, Walter B.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1995
Twenty children with left or right hemisphere dysfunction and 10 controls were administered a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. Results provide limited support for the hypothesis that the right hemisphere subserves attention and concentration but not for the hypothesis that right-hemisphere deficits are more frequently associated with…

Carter, John L. – 1969
Forty-two brain injured boys and 42 non brain injured boys (aged 11-6 to 12-6) were tested to determine the effects of increasing amounts of visual and auditory distraction on reading performance. The Stanford Achievement Reading Comprehension Test was administered with three degrees of distraction. The visual distraction consisted of either very…

Zera, David Aloyzy; Lucian, David G. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2001
This article uses a self-organizing systems (SOS) framework to explain the complexity of learning disabilities (LD) and suggest that traditional classification schema may be inadequate. It explains principles of self-organizing systems and reviews research concerning reading and math disabilities and the roles of language, attention, working…

Gillberg, C. – Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, 1983
Reports results of a neuropsychiatric study focusing on psychiatric disorders in minimal brain disorder (MBD) syndromes. Prevalence figures for marked psychiatric abnormality in MBD were shown to be greater than those for psychiatric abnormality in children with neuroepileptic disorders in the Isle of Wight study.

Scaramella-Nowinski, Valerie L. – 1991
The paper presents a discussion of human mental processes as they relate to learning disabilities. Pathognomonic symptoms associated with disturbances to brain areas or functional systems are discussed, as well as treatment procedures. This brain behavior relationship is offered as a basis for a classification system that is seen to more clearly…

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…
