Dyslexia may represent the first example of a LD whereby a possible pathway may link the observed behavior to an underlying neurological substrate that has a neurodevelopmental history beginning with an abnormal gene. Similar efforts are being made to link other cognitive disorders of development to a molecular pathway involved in brain…

Peer reviewedDeno, Stanley L.; Chiang, Berttram – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1979
Ss were presented with the task of naming lower case letters "b,""d,""p," and "q" in 30-second and untimed trials, respectively. The results, in general, showed that reversal errors decreased abruptly when incentives were introduced and, in some instances, did not increase when incentives were removed. (Author/DLS)

Peer reviewedZera, David Aloyzy; Lucian, David G. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2001
This article uses a self-organizing systems (SOS) framework to explain the complexity of learning disabilities (LD) and suggest that traditional classification schema may be inadequate. It explains principles of self-organizing systems and reviews research concerning reading and math disabilities and the roles of language, attention, working…
