Cognitive Deficits, Learning Disabilities, and WISC Verbal-Performance Consistency.

Cohen, Ronald L.; Netley, Charles

Developmental Psychology, v14 n6 p624-34 Nov 1978

A series of possible explanations for learning disabilities (LDS) couched in terms of information processing capabilities was tested by comparing the performance of LDS children on several types of information processing tasks with that of a control group. Subjects were 28 LDS children (10-11 years old) and 24 elementary school students of the same age. (MP)
