Gerber, Michael M.; Hall, Robert J. – 1981
In a replication of an earlier study, the spellings produced by 47 learning disabled (LD) students (ages 7 to 11 years) were classified in terms of a hierarchy of spelling strategies presumed to result in conventional spelling. The developmental trends for the spelling strategies used by the LD Ss were compared to the trends previously observed…

Mellard, Daryl F.; Alley, Gordon R. – 1981
The study involving 85 sixth through ninth graders tested J. Torgesen's hypothesis that learning disabled (LD) children's performance deficits occur as a result of a "passive" approach to tasks rather than a cognitive processing deficit as assumed by other existing definitions. LD students were matched with nonhandicapped peers and administered…

Meyen, Edward L.; And Others – 1980
The paper details the assumptions about learning disabled (LD) adolescents and young adults as well as assumptions about conducting research with this population held by researchers at the Kansas Institute for Research in Learning Disabilities. Several factors and events which have directed the attention of educators and researchers to the needs…

Johnson, Charlotte F. – 1981
Problems and needs specific to learning disabled (LD) adults are examined, and considerations for planning events for LD adults are discussed. Four questions are addressed: Does the event really meet their needs? How can one attract their attention and get them there? What kind of structure should one provide in an event? and How can one meet…

Nutrition Foundation, Inc., Washington, DC. – 1980
In response to the issues raised by B. Feingold regarding the possible role of food additives as a cause of hyperactivity and learing disability, the Nutrition Foundation organized a critical review of Feinfold's claims by a group of behavioral and medical scientists. Among the cliams made by Feingold was that, when treated with the salicylate and…
