Associations of inattention, hyperactivity, and sex with behavioral–emotional symptoms among children with mathematical disability
We studied the association between inattention and hyperactivity symptoms and other behavioral–emotional symptoms among children with mathematical disability after controlling for severity of the mathematical disability and comorbid reading disability. We also analyzed the effects of sex. Participants were 362 Finnish elementary school children (Mage = 10.25; SDage = 1.08) who attended a clinic which specialized in assessment of learning disabili…

Right hemisphere dysfunction in nonverbal learning disabilities
This review addresses recent research on social and nonverbal learning disabilities. Involvement of right hemispheric dysfunction in these disabilities has been hypothesized, as studies with adults have suggested that documented right hemisphere damage may lead to deficits in social skills, prosody, spatial orientation, problem solving, and recognition of nonverbal cues. Studies of children purported to evidence nonverbal learning disabilities ar…

Dyslexia and brain morphology
Although the neurological basis of dyslexia has long been assumed, little direct evidence documents a relation between deviations in brain morphology and behavioral correlates of dyslexia. This article reviews two sources of evidence. Results of CT/MRI studies suggest that in the brains of dyslexics there is an increased incidence of symmetry in the region of the planum temporale and parietooccipital cortex that may be associated with language de…
Dyslexia
DYSLEXIA HAS been and continues to be a controversial term describing a severe reading disability that is presumed to be of neurological origin. Researchers in reading base much of their criticism regarding dyslexia on seriously outdated views of the psychological and neurological literature. Much, if not all, of the recent research on dyslexia conducted by neuroscientists is ignored in favor of a simplistic view of this disorder. In response, tw…
Development of Reciprocal Hemispheric Inhibition in Normal and Learning-Disabled Children
Matched populations (N = 90) of learning-disabled and normal children representing an age range of approximately five years were administered a dichotic listening task to examine the hypothesized development of reciprocal control by the left cerebral hemisphere over the right. An analysis of the free-recall raw scores for each ear by the two groups of children at three developmental levels supported the notion that age-related changes occur in th…
Effect of directed attention on cerebral asymmetries in normal and learning-disabled children
Credibility of Smoking Control Strategies in Non-Smokers
The credibility of rapid smoking, relaxation, covert sensitization, satiation, and a combined approach was assessed in 113 subjects who were self-reported non-smokers. The results suggest that non-smokers more than smokers rate with greater variability strategies for smoking treatment favoring relaxation significantly over the other treatments examined. It also appears that satiation was least preferred when compared with descriptions of other tr…
Cardiovascular Stress during the Rapid-Smoking Procedure
The effect of the rapid-smoking procedure on heart rate, blood pressure, and peripheral skin temperature as a measure of vasoconstriction was assessed for 6 women and 4 men who participated in a week long clinic. An analysis of heart rate, blood pressure, and skin temperature taken before, during, and after the procedure yielded a statistically significant effect across all three measures. The results are discussed in terms of their significance …
