Peng, Peng; Fuchs, Douglas; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Cho, Eunsoo; Elleman, Amy M.; Kearns, Devin M.; Patton, Samuel, III; Compton, Donald L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a randomized control trial to explore this question: Does "response/no response" best characterize students' reactions to a generally efficacious first-grade reading program, or is a more nuanced characterization necessary? Data were collected on 265 at-risk readers' word reading prior to…

Cho, Eunsoo; Mancilla-Martinez, Jeannette; Hwang, Jin Kyoung; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Seethaler, Pamela M.; Fuchs, Douglas – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
The purpose of this study was threefold: to examine unique and shared risk factors of comorbidity for reading comprehension and word-problem solving difficulties, to explore whether language minority (LM) learners are at increased risk of what we refer to as "higher order comorbidity" (reading comprehension and word-problem solving…

Peng, Peng; Fuchs, Douglas – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
Children with learning difficulties suffer from working memory (WM) deficits. Yet the specificity of deficits associated with different types of learning difficulties remains unclear. Further research can contribute to our understanding of the nature of WM and the relationship between it and learning difficulties. The current meta-analysis…

Peng, Peng; Fuchs, Douglas – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
Researchers are increasingly interested in working memory (WM) training. However, it is unclear whether it strengthens comprehension in young children who are at risk for learning difficulties. We conducted a modest study of whether the training of verbal WM would improve verbal WM and passage listening comprehension and whether training effects…

Compton, Donald L.; Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Lambert, Warren; Hamlett, Carol – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the cognitive and academic profiles associated with learning disability (LD) in reading comprehension, word reading, applied problems, and calculations. The goal was to assess the specificity hypothesis, in which unexpected underachievement associated with LD is represented in terms of distinctive patterns…

Allor, Jill Howard; Fuchs, Douglas; Mathes, Patricia G. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2001
A study compared the effectiveness of phonemic awareness and decoding training for 58 first graders with and without severe lexical retrieval weaknesses. All students demonstrated poor phonemic awareness. Students with relatively strong lexical retrieval skills responded more favorably to beginning reading instruction than did students with weak…
