Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
The article provides an overview of a special topical issue on information processing as it relates to learning disabilities. Components of information processing theory are described, a model of information processing is presented, and subsequent articles in the special issue are summarized. (JW)

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1988
The information processing approach to the assessment of learning disabled students' intellectual performance includes decisions about: (1) relationship between hypothesis testing and overall performance, (2) the knowledge base for strategy development, (3) coordination of search strategies, (4) metacognition, and (5) problem solving strategies.…

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
The article reviews literature on the information processing model with learning disabled children. Assumptions concerning the role of automaticity, prior knowledge, and executive functioning are questioned. Also discussed are procedures for identifying common denominations, subgrouping, isolating mental components underlying academic change, and…

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1982
An information processing approach to the assessment of learning disabled students' intellectual performance is presented. The model is based on the assumption that intelligent behavior is comprised of a variety of problem- solving strategies. An account of child problem solving is explained and illustrated with a "thinking aloud" protocol.…

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – School Psychology Review, 1995
Discusses the dynamic assessment of information-processing ability by detailing development, standardization, and preliminary validation of Cognitive Processing Test (S-CPT). Presents information pertaining to development and standardization of psychometric properties. Discusses problems and advantages of measures. (Author/JDM)

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – Remedial and Special Education (RASE), 1984
An investigation of effects of information processing models on instruction showed that strategy and metacognitive instruction is infrequent in teacher-child interactions; a behavioral paradigm captures most teacher-child interactions; what teachers say and do is discrepant; and content of teacher-child verbal behavior varies minimally between…

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – American Educational Research Journal, 1993
Results from a study involving 32 learning-disabled, 17 gifted, and 14 normally achieving students from grades 4 and 5 support the idea that learning-disabled children's problem-solving performance reflects a weak integration of metacognitive skills with online processing and problem solution. (SLD)

Direct linkJohnson, Evelyn S.; Humphrey, Michael; Mellard, Daryl F.; Woods, Kari; Swanson, H. Lee – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2010
Many practitioners and state education agency staff would likely agree that the accuracy and consistency of specific learning disability (SLD) eligibility decisions is in need of improvement. One component of the SLD definition particularly controversial in the identification procedures is the evaluation of cognitive processes, primarily due to a…

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee; And Others – American Educational Research Journal, 1990
Qualitative differences between 24 expert teachers and 24 novice teachers in think-aloud protocols related to solving classroom discipline problems were investigated. Results suggest that expert teachers have procedural plans for solving discipline problems and are able to put more attention into defining the problem than are novice teachers. (SLD)

Swanson, H. Lee; Kong, Jennifer E.; Moran, Amber S.; Orosco, Michael J. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2019
This randomized control treatment study investigated the role of generative paraphrasing interventions on word problem-solving (WPS) accuracy in English language learners (ELL) who were at risk for math difficulties (MD). One hundred and forty-two third-grade monolingual and English language learners were randomly assigned to either an untreated…

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee; Sachse-Lee, Carole – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
This study explored relationship between working memory (WM) and mathematical problem solving, comparing children with learning disabilities (LD) to chronologically age-matched and younger achievement-matched children on measures of WM, phonological processing, problem-solving, and word problem-solving accuracy. Found support for notion that…

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – Developmental Psychology, 1999
Compared verbal and visuo-spatial working memory (WM) performance under initial, gain, and maintenance conditions for nine age groups from 6 to 57 years to determine if differences were attributable to specific or general processing functions. Found support for a general-capacity explanation of age-related differences, reflecting demands placed on…

Peer reviewedSwanson, H. Lee – Intelligence, 1988
The differences between learning disabled (LD) and non-LD children's problem-solving protocols were analyzed during a picture arrangement task. Although the groups of 29 LD and 27 non-LD children were comparable in global mental processing and task performance, LD children had difficulty with representing problems and deleting irrelevant…
