Swaby, Barbara E. R. – 1989
Written for prospective and practicing teachers, this book is built on two major premises: firstly, that there are two broad categories of learners--inductive or traditional learners and noninductive or nontraditional learners; and secondly, that in order to prevent or remediate failure, all reading curricula must be modified to meet the needs of…

The series of studies discussed here was designed to provide an extensive investigation into the hypothesis that reading disabilities and deficits in selective attention are related.

The specific brain injury cases, classed as organic remedial,…

Beaver, Joseph C. – Research in the Teaching of English, 1968
A knowledge of transformational grammar may shed considerable light on a wide variety of ready "lapses." A skillful teacher who understands the origin of these errors may deal with them more effectively than in the past. This thesis is based on the quite widely accepted hypothesis that the grammar of the language has rules which operate in a…

Autistic and hyperkinetic children apparently have unbalanced neurological…
