Laura N. Henry; Rachel A. Gross; Stephen P. Hinshaw – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2025
Youth with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often exhibit impairments in mathematics, but long-term math development into adulthood, particularly in females, is underexplored. We characterized trajectories of math achievement in girls with ADHD and an age- and ethnicity-matched comparison sample from childhood through early…

Ostad, Snorre A. – International Journal for Research in Learning Disabilities, 2020
Recent studies have concluded that children's development of private speech (private speech internalization) is related to and important for developing mathematical ability. In this article, we review a project consisting of studies exploring the cognitive factors that may underlie differences between the use of private speech by children with…

The administration of cognitive measures that include narrow abilities is useful in understanding specific learning problems and developing effective interventions.…

Kroesbergen, E. H.; Van Luit, J. E. H.; Van Lieshout, E. C. D. M.; Van Loosbroek, E.; Van de Rijt, B. A. M. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
In this study, the question was raised how basic cognitive processes are related to math abilities and how it can be best determined which children are at risk for developing those disabilities. The role of four distinct basic processes in the development of early mathematics was investigated: executive functions, fluid intelligence, subitizing,…

Smith, Douglas K.; Lyon, Mark A. – 1987
A study sought to compare the performance of elementary school students referred for learning difficulties on the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and to examine similarities and differences in performance on the two instruments between those placed in…

Whitworth, John Ruth; Sutton, Dorothy Lee – 1993
This book is intended to provide specific instructional help for educators planning remediation of deficits identified by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children III (WISC-III) and for educators writing individual educational plans. An introduction notes differences between the WISC-R and the WISC-III. The guide is arranged in four subtest…
