Abstract | Three types of definitions of learning disabilities (LD) (ability-achievement discrepancy, low achievement, and scatter) were examined to determine the extent of common variance within 48 school-identified LD children and 96 nonLD children (all elementary students). Both samples had previously been administered a battery of psychoeducational tests. Data were used to classify each child as LD or nonLD according to each of 14 operational definitions. A factor analysis resulted in two distinct groupings of LD students. Low achievement accounted for over four times the variance as ability-achievement discrepancy. Scatter did not contribute independently to classification. (Author/CL) |
