Houck, D. Griffith; Torgesen, Joseph K.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n2 p141-60 Apr 1980
Reasons for poor performance on the Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised were examined, using learning disabled (LD) children who performed poorly on the test, LD children who performed normally, and average children. One LD group was unable to establish mnemonic codes for familiar auditory stimuli. (Author/GDC)
