Wu, Sarah S.; Willcutt, Erik G.; Escovar, Emily; Menon, Vinod – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014
Although behavioral difficulties are well documented in reading disabilities, little is known about the relationship between math ability and internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Here, we use standardized measures to investigate the relation among early math ability, math anxiety, and internalizing and externalizing behaviors in a group of…
