Cognitive Arithmetic and Problem Solving: A Comparison of Children with Specific and General Mathematics Difficulties.
Jordan, Nancy C.; Montani, Teresa Oettinger
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v30 n6 p624-34 Nov-Dec 1997
This study examined problem solving and number-fact skills in two subgroups of third graders, those (n=12) with difficulties only in mathematics (MD-specific) and those (n=12) with difficulties in both reading and mathematics (MD-general). On both story and number-fact problems, the MD-general group performed worse than nonimpaired students, whereas the MD-specific group performed worse only in timed conditions. (DB)
