Pieters, Stefanie; Roeyers, Herbert; Rosseel, Yves; Van Waelvelde, Hilde; Desoete, Annemie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2015
A relationship between motor and mathematical skills has been shown by previous research. However, the question of whether subtypes can be differentiated within developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and/or mathematical learning disability (MLD) remains unresolved. In a sample of children with and without DCD and/or MLD, a data-driven…

Cornoldi, Cesare; Venneri, Annalena; Marconato, Fabio; Molin, Adriana; Montinari, Cinzia – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
An 18-item "Shortened Visuospatial Questionnaire" (SVS) was validated twice, first by verifying that children (ages 8-13) identified with the SVS questionnaire as having visuospatial learning disability (VSLD) (n=54) actually showed visuospatial deficits on psychometric evaluation, and second, by rating with the SVS a clinically identified…

Toward a Research-Based Assessment of Dyslexia: Using Cognitive Measures To Identify Reading Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bell, Sherry Mee; McCallum, R. Steve; Cox, Elizabeth A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
Elementary and middle school children (n=105) completed measures of reading achievement and cognitive abilities. Factor analysis produced three empirically and theoretically derived factors, auditory processing, visual processing/speed, and memory. Together the three factors combined predicted 61 to 85% of the variance associated with different…
