Failure to Find Attention Differences between Learning Disabled and Normal Children on Classroom and Laboratory Tasks.

Samuels, S. Jay; Miller, Nancy L.

Exceptional Children, v51 n5 p358-75 Feb 1985

Findings indicated no differences between 17 learning disabled and 32 normal elementary students on attention tasks, no difference in sustained attention, and no evidence of a developmental lag. A significant difference in attention was found favoring special classes over regular, small groups over large, and teacher-directed over independent activities. (Author/CL)
