Abstract | Some of the issues that dominated, or at least held sway, in the neuropsychology of learning disabilities (LD) in the 1970s included: the definition of LD, whether there are reliable and valid subtypes of LD, whether and to what extent LD are related to cerebral dysfunction, and whether LD are related to types and/or degrees of psychosocial dysfunction (Rourke, 1975). It is clear that these issues are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, they are intimately connected. Progress has been made in examining these issues, but future challenges will be substantial. This author of this article provides his general definition and some elements of his specific subtypal definitions of LD. The definitions arise from the part of his research program during the last 40 years that has focused on delineating reliable and valid subtypes of LD. The author concludes that virtually every advance in this field has been inspired and/or carried out by scientist-practitioners. It is clear that the mutual benefits that practice and science offer to each other will continue to enlighten and guide this field. (ERIC). |
