Discourse Errors in Students with Learning Disabilities and Their Normally Achieving Peers: Molar versus Molecular Views.
McCord, Jill S.; Haynes, William O.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v21 n4 p237-43 Apr 1988
Twelve learning-disabled children, aged 8-11, were compared with normal peers on various discourse errors. No significant quantitative differences were found in the total number of discourse errors between the disabled and normal groups, but the errors were qualitatively different. Male subjects made significantly more errors than female subjects. (Author/JDD)
