Imagery Generation by Learning Disabled and Average-Achieving 11- to 13-Year-Olds.

Ferro, Susan C.; Pressley, Michael G.

Learning Disability Quarterly, v14 n3 p231-39 Sum 1991

Fifty-five males with learning disabilities and 55 average-achieving males in grades 6-7 studied paired associates of varying difficulty levels, through image construction or pairing rehearsal. Regardless of item type or presentation rate, both groups of students benefited from imagery instructions, with great similarity in between-condition differences. (Author/JDD)
