Learning Disabled and Nondisabled College Students' Use of Structure in Recall of Stories and Text.

Bacon, Ellen H.; Carpenter, Dale

Learning Disability Quarterly, v12 n2 p108-18 Spr 1989

The study found that college students with learning disabilities (LD) were as able as nondisabled students to use story grammar and comparison text structure to aid recall of social studies text passages. However, LD students scored significantly lower on use of causation text structure. Results suggest that use of comparison structures precede causation structures. (Author/DB)
