Verbal Retelling Abilities in Adolescents with and without Language-Learning Disabilities for Social Studies Lectures.
Ward-Lonergan, Jeannene M.; Liles, Betty Z.; Anderson, Angela M.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v32 n3 p213-23 May-Jun 1999
Verbal-retelling abilities for social-studies lectures were examined in 20 adolescent boys with language-learning disabilities and 29 with normal language abilities. Lectures had either a comparison expository discourse structure or a causation discourse structure. Results indicated that the comparison discourse structure facilitated more substantive and elaborate retellings, whereas the causation structure facilitated more efficient, concise retellings in both groups.
