The Mental Health and Social Emotional Skills of Students with Different Learning Difficulties in China
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ling-ling Wang; Dan-xin Huang; Dan Cai; George K. Georgiou – Annals of Dyslexia, 2025
This study aimed to examine the mental health and social-emotional skills of individuals with mathematics difficulties (MD), reading difficulties (RD), and comorbid difficulties (MDRD) in China. Students with MD (n = 35), RD (n = 27), MDRD (n = 43), and typically-developing peers (TD, n = 167) completed the Children's Depression Inventory, the…

Cognitive Profiles of Children with Isolated and Comorbid Learning Difficulties in Reading and Math: A Meta-Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Viesel-Nordmeyer, Nurit; Reuber, Julia; Kuhn, Jörg-Tobias; Moll, Kristina; Holling, Heinz; Dobel, Christian – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The causes underlying comorbid learning difficulties in reading (RD) and math (MD) are still a matter of debate. Based on current research, two models for the relation of the cognitive profile of isolated and combined learning difficulties (RDMD) are discussed. Regarding the "multi-deficit model", the profile of RDMD is characterized by…

Willcutt, Erik G.; McGrath, Lauren M.; Pennington, Bruce F.; Keenan, Janice M.; DeFries, John C.; Olson, Richard K.; Wadsworth, Sally J. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
Current definitions of specific learning disability (SLD) identify a heterogeneous population that includes individuals with weaknesses in reading, math, or writing, and these academic difficulties often co-occur in many of the same individuals. The Colorado Learning Disabilities Research Center (CLDRC) is an interdisciplinary, multisite research…

A Synthesis of Elementary Mathematics Interventions: Comparisons of Students with Mathematics Difficulty with and without Comorbid Reading Difficulty
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Powell, Sarah R.; Doabler, Christian T.; Akinola, Olayemi A.; Therrien, William J.; Maddox, Steven A.; Hess, Katherine E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
In this synthesis, we reviewed 65 studies involving elementary students (i.e., grades 1-5) identified with mathematics difficulty (MD) in which authors implemented a mathematics intervention. Of these studies, we identified 33 group designs, 9 quasi-experimental designs, and 23 single-case designs. We aimed to synthesize performance differences…

Understanding the Cognition Related to Mathematics Difficulties: A Meta-Analysis on the Cognitive Deficit Profiles and the Bottleneck Theory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Peng, Peng; Wang, Cuicui; Namkung, Jessica – Review of Educational Research, 2018
The current study investigated the cognitive deficit profiles among individuals with mathematics difficulties (MD) and potential moderators and mechanism for these profiles. Seventy-five cognitive profiling studies on MD were included, representing a total of 13,001 individuals and 126 independent samples. Results showed that compared with…

Double-Deficit Hypothesis in a Clinical Sample: Extension beyond Reading
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Heikkilä, Riikka; Torppa, Minna; Aro, Mikko; Närhi, Vesa; Ahonen, Timo – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
This study explored the double-deficit hypothesis (DDH) in a transparent orthography (Finnish) and extended the view from reading disabilities to comorbidity of learning-related problems in math and attention. Children referred for evaluation of learning disabilities in second through sixth grade (N = 205) were divided into four groups based on…
