Learning Disabled Children's Problem Solving: Identifying Mental Processes Underlying Intelligent Performance.

Swanson, H. Lee

Intelligence, v12 n3 p261-78 Jul-Sep 1988

The differences between learning disabled (LD) and non-LD children's problem-solving protocols were analyzed during a picture arrangement task. Although the groups of 29 LD and 27 non-LD children were comparable in global mental processing and task performance, LD children had difficulty with representing problems and deleting irrelevant information.
