Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jack, Fiona; Simcock, Gabrielle; Hayne, Harlene – Child Development, 2012
This report describes the first prospective study specifically designed to assess children's verbal memory for a unique event 6 years after it occurred. Forty-six 27- to 51-month-old children took part in a unique event and were interviewed about it twice, after 24-hr and 6-year delays. During the 6-year interview, 9 children verbally recalled the…

Baxter, Mark G.; Browning, Philip G. F.; Mitchell, Anna S. – Learning & Memory, 2008
Surgical disconnection of the frontal cortex and inferotemporal cortex severely impairs many aspects of visual learning and memory, including learning of new object-in-place scene memory problems, a monkey model of episodic memory. As part of a study of specialization within prefrontal cortex in visual learning and memory, we tested monkeys with…

Working Memory Deficit in Children with Mathematical Difficulties: A General or Specific Deficit?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Andersson, Ulf; Lyxell, Bjorn – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
This study examined whether children with mathematical difficulties (MDs) or comorbid mathematical and reading difficulties have a working memory deficit and whether the hypothesized working memory deficit includes the whole working memory system or only specific components. In the study, 31 10-year-olds with MDs and 37 10-year-olds with both…

Self-Organization and Learning Disabilities: A Theoretical Perspective for the Interpretation and Understanding of Dysfunction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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…

Systemic Analysis of Brain Mechanisms Underlying Learning Disabilities: An Introduction to the Brain Behavior Relationship.
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…

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…
