Mathematics and Learning Disabilities

David C. Geary · 1 Jan 2004

Between 5% and 8% of school-age children have some form of memory or cognitive deficit that interferes with their ability to learn concepts or procedures in one or more mathematical domains. A review of the arithmetical competencies of these children is provided, along with discussion of underlying memory and cognitive deficits and potential neural correlates.…

Explaining the Differences Between the Dyslexic and the Garden-Variety Poor Reader

Keith E. Stanovich · 1 Dec 1988

A coherent conception of dyslexia has been difficult to arrive at because research findings have continually created logical paradoxes for the psychometric definition of reading disability. This paper develops the phonological-core variable-difference model. This model of the cognitive characteristics of dyslexic children is one of the few that does not create psychometric paradoxes of the…

Intensive Remedial Instruction for Children with Severe Reading Disabilities

Joseph K. Torgesen, Ann W. Alexander, Richard K. Wagner et al. · 1 Jan 2001

Sixty children with severe reading disabilities were randomly assigned to two instructional programs that incorporated principles of effective instruction but differed in depth and extent of instruction in phonemic awareness and phonemic decoding skills. All children received 67.5 hours of one-to-one instruction in two 50-minute sessions per day for 8 weeks. Both instructional programs produced…

Longitudinal Studies of Phonological Processing and Reading

Joseph K. Torgesen, Richard K. Wagner, Carol A. Rashotte · 1 May 1994

O ne of the most exciting developments in research on reading over the last two decades is the emerging consensus about the importance of phonological processing abilities in the acquisition of early reading skills (Shankweiler & Liberman, 1989; Stanovich, 1988; Wagner & Torgesen, 1987). As the term is used by those who study early reading…

Early Identification and Interventions for Students With Mathematics Difficulties

Russell Gersten, Nancy C. Jordan, Jonathan R. Flojo · 1 Jul 2005

This article highlights key findings from the small body of research on mathematics difficulties (MD) relevant to early identification and early intervention. The research demonstrates that (a) for many children, mathematics difficulties are not stable over time; (b) the presence of reading difficulties seems related to slower progress in many aspects of mathematics; (c) almost…
