Paradigms Lost: Learning Disabilities and the New Ghost in the Old Machine.
Carnine, Douglas; Woodward, John
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v21 n4 p233-36 Apr 1988
This critique of H. Lee Swanson's "Toward a Metatheory of Learning Disabilities" comments on Swanson's concept of learning disabilities, cognitive science, and information processing theory. A different research and theory-building agenda is proposed, focusing on society's definition of learning disabilities and instructional issues and using curriculum design as an example. (JDD)
