Executive Control in the Revising of Students with Learning and Writing Difficulties.

Graham, Steve

Journal of Educational Psychology, v89 n2 p223-34 Jun 1997

The role of executive control in the revising difficulties of 12 fifth and sixth graders with writing and learning problems was studied. Procedural support made revising easier for participating students, but their difficulties were not due solely to difficulties with executive control. Implications for instruction are discussed.
