Attention Deficits In Children With Learning Disabilities A Review

摘要: Twenty-one experimental studies of attention deficits in children with learning disabilities were reviewed. Included the review distractibility, hyperactivity, impulsivity, vigilance, and intersensory integration. From accumulated evidence, following conclusions drawn: (1) Children exhibit more distractibility than controls on tasks involving embedded contexts (figure-ground perception tasks) tests incidental vs. central learning. They are not differentially distracted by other types distractors such as flashing lights extraneous color cues. (2) Hyperactivity may be situational-specific, higher levels activity being exhibited structured situation. (3) impulsive, i.e. less reflective, controls. (4) deficient their ability to maintain over prolonged periods time. Studies a...
