Weiler, Michael David; Bernstein, Jane Holmes; Bellinger, David; Waber, Deborah P.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v35 n5 p448-61 Sep-Oct 2002
This study compared children with either attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (n=24), reading disability (RD) (n=33), both (n=9), or controls. Children with ADHD were characterized by difficulty with a visual search task whereas children with RD had difficulty with an auditory processing task. Specifically, children with ADHD demonstrated diminished speed of visual processing not attributable to inattention. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
