Assessment of Attentional Difficulties in Underachieving Children.
Day, Alison M.; Peters, Ray DeV.
Journal of Educational Research, v82 n6 p356-61 Jul-Aug 1989
A study of third- and fourth-grade students found no significant differences between underachieving and normally achieving children for the measures of cognitive-impulsivity, selective attention, and sustained attention. However, significant differentiation was provided by teacher ratings indicating poorer classroom behavior, lack of attention, and more problems with peer relationships. (IAH)
