Effect of Cognitive Effort on Learning Disabled and Nondisabled Readers' Recall.

Swanson, H. Lee

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v17 n2 p67-74 Feb 1984

In three experiments on auditory free recall of words, involving 10 learning disabled (LD) and 10 nondisabled (ND) elementary students, the ND recalled more low and high cognitive effort words than LD students. Supports the hypothesis that ND and LD readers differ in processing capacity; however, cognitive effort improves results. (Authors)
