Murray, Christopher; Lombardi, Allison; Wren, Carol T.; Keys, Christopher – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2009
This investigation examined the relationship between prior disability-focused training and university faculty members' attitudes towards students with learning disabilities (LD). A survey containing items designed to measure faculty attitudes was sent to all full-time faculty at one university. Analyses of 198 responses indicated that faculty who…

Peer reviewedDavis, W. Alan; Shepard, Lorrie A. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1983
The tests used in the identification of learning disabilitis and the extent of knowledge specialists have regarding the technical aspects of tests were assessed. All groups of specialists tended to overrate the tests they used, and generally indicated a lack of familiarity with the psychometric properties of commonly used tests. (Author/SW)

Morgan, Paul L.; Farkas, George; Hibel, Jacob – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2008
Which children are most at risk of experiencing a Matthew effect in reading? We investigated this question using population-based methodology. First, we identified children entering kindergarten on socio-demographic factors (i.e., gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status) known to index the relative risks and resources available to them as…

Peer reviewedBennett, Randy Elliot; Shepherd, Margaret Jo – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
Ninety-five learning disability specialists on pupil evaluation teams were given a test of basic measurement concepts important in test interpretation. Results showed that, on the average, learning disability specialists answered only every other question correctly and performed significantly below a group of students enrolled in an introductory…

Lancaster, Paula E.; Schumaker, Jean B.; Lancaster, Sean J. C.; Deshler, Donald D. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2009
Students with disabilities must meet many testing demands, given the current emphasis on accountability and state competency testing. The purpose of this project was to develop and field test a computerized program to teach the Test-Taking Strategy (Hughes, Schumaker, Deshler, & Mercer, 1988) to secondary-level students with disabilities. The…

Peer reviewedEnglert, Carol Sue; And Others – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1988
Learning-disabled (LD) intermediate grade students (N=10), as well as low and high achieving students, were interviewed about their metacognitive knowledge of the writing process and also composed two expository texts. LD students were less aware than high achieving students of modeled writing strategies and steps in the writing process.…

Peer reviewedRoss, Roslyn P. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1990
When 43 experienced school psychologists were asked to evaluate discrepancy scores, it was found that they made inconsistent choices, failed to use standard statistical procedures for testing differences between scores, and tended to misinterpret percentile ranks as useful for discrepancy analysis. Implications for learning-disabilities…

Peer reviewedHofmeister, Alan M.; Lubke, Margaret M. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1988
The article examines characteristics and present or potential applications of expert systems technology for diagnosis and treatment of learning disabilities. Preliminary findings indicate that expert systems can perform as well as humans in specific areas, and that the process of organizing knowledge bases for expert systems helps clarify existing…

Peer reviewedSnider, Vicki E. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1989
The study found that instructing 13 learning-disabled junior high students in the necessary prior knowledge (information and vocabulary concepts) led to superior reading comprehension performance. Textually explicit text structure also improved reading comprehension. (DB)

This study, with 48 students (including 16 eighth graders with learning disabilities (LD), 16 age level peers, and 16 reading level peers), found that all groups, but especially LD students, benefited from experimenter activation of prior knowledge on reading comprehension tasks testing inferential reading ability. Experimenter activation of prior…
