Promoting Thinking Skills of Students with Learning Disabilities: Effects on Recall and Comprehension of Expository Prose.

Mastropieri, Margo A.; And Others

Exceptionality, v6 n1 p1-11 1996

Seventh- and eighth-grade students with learning disabilities (n=29) who reasoned through factual prose sentences did not recall more information than students who were prompted to try to remember the content after each sentence. However, students trained in thinking skills produced more correct explanations of the information than control students. (Author/DB)
