Ninety-three elementary school minority-group children in triads of a low-achieving student, an average achiever, and a learning-disabled (LD) student were observed in regular education classes.

Generalization and Setting Specificity of Behavioral Deficits among Learning Disabled Students.
Bender, William N. – Learning Disabilities Research, 1989
Resource teachers' and regular teachers' ratings for 32 elementary-level learning-disabled (LD) students were compared to identify teachability characteristics and behaviors. Though the two groups of teachers did not note differences in problem behaviors of the same LD child in different settings, differences in cognitive/motivational and…
