Effects of Attributional Retraining on Strategy-Based Reading Comprehension in Learning-Disabled Students.

Borkowski, John G.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n1 p46-53 Mar 1988

Seventy-five learning-disabled students (10 to 14 years old) received instructions about summarization strategies and about personal causality that were designed to improve reading comprehension. Changes in antecedent attributions about personal causality were not usually altered by this program-specific attributional training, although summarization and reading performance improved. (SLD)
