Huebner, E. Scott – School Psychology Review, 1989
Fifty-six school psychologists reviewed a hypothetical case study designed to investigate their interpretations of different norm-referenced test scores. Subjects were more likely to recommend special education programs for normal students when percentile scores were used. School psychologists need to become more familiar with the properties of…

Spavold, J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1989
Describes study of 9- to 11-year-olds conducted in Great Britain that was designed to analyze the means by which elementary school children familiarized themselves with a large database. Types of error and frequency of occurrence are examined, query formulation is discussed, and the importance of keyboard skills is addressed. (nine references)…

Huer, Mary Blake – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1989
The study evaluated the usefulness of acoustic tracking as a supplement to perceptual judgments during remediation of articulation errors with a 10-year-old. Analysis of temporal and spectral characteristics of recorded imitations of sentence stimuli were compared with perceptual judgments of articulatory change over a 70-day remediation period…

Ghadessy, Moshen – IRAL, 1989
Comparison of Chinese, Malay, and Tamil primary school students' responses to a test featuring 19 error types related to English verb structure revealed no significant differences between the three groups' selection of developmental errors. The test also showed promise in measuring students' English accuracy as opposed to fluency. (CB)

Fletcher, James – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1991
This study analyzed error recovery patterns based on eye movement measures of sentence parsing, across reading level and error type, in 10 adolescents with reading disabilities and 10 controls. The groups' error recovery strategies were similar in pattern and frequency; patterns were largely organized, strategic, and efficient; and multiple…

Morris-Friehe, Mary J.; Sanger, Dixie D. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1992
A story format and discourse analysis procedure was used to evaluate the spoken language skills of 20 elementary students with learning disabilities over a 1-year period. Stories from memory were longer and characterized by more as well as different types of errors than were stories from pictures or stories based on games. (Author/DB)

Rubino, Rejane B.; Pine, Julian M. – Journal of Child Language, 1998
A study of subject-verb agreement in 3-year-old speakers of Brazilian Portuguese found an overall low error rate, but with important contrasts in both frequency of production of different verb inflections and rate of agreement errors associated with them, suggesting subject-verb agreement is acquired piecemeal and the learning of particular verb…
