Normal children (N=8) and two groups of 8 learning disabled (LD) elementary grade children, one with and one without a short-term memory deficit, were administered a battery of questions concerning knowledge of how their memories function (metamemory). Metamemory was found to be deficient only in the subgroup of LD children with a short-term memory deficit (as indexed by poor performance on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised digit span subtest). LD children without this memory...

Research supports skin temperature changes (increases) as indicators of stress reduction or relaxation. To study the utility of skin temperature at the wrist as a measure of relaxation, 226 seventh grade students recorded their wrist temperatures before and after a 15-minute relaxation training exercise each morning for 29 weeks. Teachers checked to ensure that the students properly recorded the temperatures, and an observer from the research team visited each classroom at least once every 2...

Examined was the performance of 18 normal and 20 learning disabled (LD) 8- to 9-year-old children on two competitive measures of auditory discrimination. Ss were administered the Wepman Auditory Discrimination Test (1974) and the Goldman, Fristoe, Woodcock Test of Auditory Discrimination (1970). Results suggested that little correlation exists between the two tests which are frequently viewed as interchangeable. No differences between the two groups were found in auditory discrimination skills...

The teaching of spelling is outlined and discussed in this pamphlet. Three major steps are described: the prewriting stage, teaching the principle of alphabetic writing--the understanding that spelling requires the sequencing of sounds within a word, and teaching the spelling patterns of written English. The pamphlet concludes that two current practices are detrimental to children in developing spelling skills: teaching spelling words and demanding perfect spelling. (JM)

Teaching students to become readers who can work with an author to "build" a text requires a better understanding of the nature of the author-reader relationship. This essay discusses the rights and responsibilities of that relationship by presenting writing and reading as a rhetorical situation--an interaction between author, reader/learner, text, and the world--that involves the structuring of meaning. The point of providing students with opportunities to structure ideas through...

The study assessed the extent to which the presence of gaze direction affected sighted raters' perceived evaluation of the competence levels of elementary-aged visually impaired children. Sighted individuals (N=160) were randomly assigned to view one of four randomized videotapes of two visually impaired children without gaze direction (pre-training skill level) and two children with gaze direction (post-training skill level). All raters viewed the same children although not necessarily in the...

In a study of the significance of private speech, 11 learning disabled (LD) and 16 non LD children (mean age 10 years) were given several cognitive tasks, and their private speech during play and school work was assessed. LD Ss performed less well on the cognitive tasks than non LD Ss. Children who used high rates of private speech performed in a more immature manner on the cognitive tasks, supporting the notion that private speech is related to cognitive development and not just chronological...

A recurrent issue in education is which spelling words should be taught and how they should be taught. A brief review of several articles that deal with the employment of spelling programs that have incorporated the 100 most frequently used words in their curriculum shows many similarities in philosophies and teaching methods.
