Coherence: The Comprehension and Production Abilities of College Writers Who Are Normally Achieving, Learning Disabled, and Underprepared.
Gregg, Noel; Hoy, Cheri
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v22 n6 p370-72,390 Jun-Jul 1989
The study found that college student writers with learning disabilities (N=35) produced better coherent written text than did underprepared non-disabled students. LD writers appeared to understand text structure like normally achieving writers but, like the underprepared writers, they experienced difficulty in the production process. (Author/DB)
