Effects of Visual and Auditory Distractors on Learning Disabled and Normal Children's Recognition Memory Performance.
Patton, James E.; Offenbach, Stuart I.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n5 p788-95 Oct 1978
Children with visual or auditory reading disorders and normally achieving children performed visual and auditory recognition tasks, with visual or auditory distractors presented. With distractors, learning disabled groups made more errors and did not improve over trials as much as controls. All groups made more errors when task and distractor were in the same modality.
