An intervention programme for children with moderate learning difficulties
Background . Children with learning difficulties typically demonstrate problems generalising what they have learned in specific contexts to new situations. Intervention programmes that teach children regulatory skills have been shown to overcome these problems for children with reading difficulties. This study applies the principles that underlie such interventions to the design of a programme for children with more general learning difficulties.…
Individual differences and strategy selection in reasoning
Although individuals may use different strategies in order to solve reasoning problems, few attempts have been made to understand the processes that lead to strategy choice. One exception to this is work with the sentence-picture verification task in which it has been found that high spatial ability individuals tend to use a strategy that involves spatial representations while low spatial ability individuals tend to use a strategy that involves v…
The sentence—picture verification task
The sentence‐picture verification task has received a great deal of attention over the years, and it has been a source of many interesting findings concerning the relationships between individual differences in people's abilities, task performance and strategy selection. However, there are a number of problems with interpreting data from this task as it appears to be particularly difficult to reliably classify subjects into distinct strategy grou…
The Mathematical Achievements of Deaf Children From Different Educational Environments
The performances of 465 hearing and 540 hearing-impaired school-leavers on the Vernon-Miller Graded Arithmetic-Mathematics test are reported. A previous study revealed that hearing-impaired children in special schools and partially hearing units scored approximately three years below their hearing peers. Somewhat paradoxically, however, degree of hearing loss was not a major determinant of performance in the hearing-impaired sample. One possible …
