Listening Comprehension and Recall Abilities in Adolescents with Language-Learning Disabilities and without Disabilities for Social Studies Lectures.

Ward-Lonergan, Jeannene M.; Liles, Betty Z.; Anderson, Angela M.

Journal of Communication Disorders, v31 n1 p1-32 Jan-Feb 1998

Listening comprehension and recall abilities for social studies lectures were examined and compared in 20 adolescent males with language-learning disabilities (LLD) and in 29 controls. Regardless of lecture type (comparison or causatory expository discourse structures) or question type (literal or inferential comprehension), the performance of the group with LLD was significantly poorer.
