Differences in Factor Structures of Cognitive Functioning of Learning Disabled (LD) and Emotionally Handicapped (EH) Children.
Mason, Elizabeth M.; Wenck, L. Stanley
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v49 n4 p767-82 Win 1989
Cognitive differences between 987 LD children and 178 EH children in public schools on a psychoeducational assessment battery were studied, and differences in factor structure were investigated. Caution is suggested in interpreting the results of multivariate statistical analyses, which indicated heterogeneity in the matrices of LD and EH children. (SLD)
