Peer reviewedZentall, Sydney S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1990
Fifteen learning-disabled (LD), 33 attention disordered (AD), and 28 normal adolescents were assessed with 2 performance measures and 3 behavioral measures while working on mathematics problems. Findings support theoretical predictions that LD and AD children have difficulty with repetitive stimuli, contributing to mathematics deficits. (SLD)

Peer reviewedErez, Gilat; Peled, Irit – Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, 2001
A study investigated the repertoire of cognitive schemes used by 15 adolescents with mental retardation in the process of solving additive word problems. Findings provide evidence of at least a partial part-part-whole scheme for about half of the students and more use of metacognitive knowledge than is usually expected. (Contains references.)…

Peer reviewedGallagher, Ann M.; DeLisi, Richard; Holst, Patricia C; McGillicuddy-DeLisi, Ann V.; Morely, Mary; Cahala, Cara – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2000
Three studies examined strategy flexibility in mathematical problem solving among high school students on Scholastic Assessment Test-Mathematics problems and among college students on Graduate Record Examination-Quantitative items. Results suggested that strategy flexibility was a source of gender differences in mathematics ability as assessed by…
