Item Mass and Complexity and the Arithmetic Computation of Students with Learning Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cawley, John F.; Shepard, Teri; Smith, Maureen; Parmar, Rene S. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 1997
The performance of 76 students (ages 10 to 15) with learning disabilities on four tasks of arithmetic computation within each of the four basic operations was examined. Tasks varied in difficulty level and number of strokes needed to complete all items. Intercorrelations between task sets and operations were examined as was the use of…
