Distractibility in Learning-Disabled Children: The Role of Measurement Artifact.

Harvey, Philip D.; And Others

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v17 n4 p234-36 Apr 1984

Two-digit span tasks compared the distraction performance of 32 learning disabled (LD) high schoolers and non LD Ss. No differential distraction effect was found on the first set (matching nondistraction and distraction conditions). In set two, (distraction condition was designed to be more discriminating), a differential distraction effect was found. (Author/CL)
