The Contribution of Executive Control to the Revising by Students with Writing and Learning Difficulties.

De La Paz, Susan; Swanson, Philip N.; Graham, Steve

Journal of Educational Psychology, v90 n3 p448-60 Sep 1998

The role of executive control in the revising problems of 12 eighth graders with writing and learning difficulties was studied by providing students with executive support in the process. Compared with revising under normal conditions, executive support made the revision process easier for students and improved their revising behavior. (SLD)
