Visual Displays to Increase Comprehension of High School Learning-Disabled Students.

Darch, Craig; Eaves, Ronald C.

Journal of Special Education, v20 n3 p309-18 Fall 1986

When learning-disabled high school students (N=22) were taught about astronomy by either presenting key concepts with a visual spatial display or by presenting concepts with texts, tests measuring short-term mastery of content favored students taught with the visual display. No differences were found between the groups on transfer or maintenance. (Author/CB)
