  1. EEG and behavioral changes following neurofeedback treatment in learning disabled children.
    Neurofeedback in learning disabled children improved WISC performance and altered EEG profiles in the experimental group but not in the control group. [more]

  2. Teens with learning disabilities: risk and protective factors associated with emotional well-being
    Learning disabilities are associated with higher rates of emotional distress, suicidal attempts, and violence involvement. [more]

  3. Executive processing and ADHD: the supervisory attentional system.
    ADHD group are impaired on tasks that require the inhibition of a strongly triggered response compared to learning disabled and normal children. [more]

  4. Attitude and knowledge of ADHD and learning disability among high school teachers.
    A survey of high school teachers found that 13% considered learning disabilities to be the result of parental attitudes (i.e., spoiling the child) and many thought ADHD and non-ADHD children should be rebuked and punished in similar manners. [more]

  5. Event-related brain potentials and Mangina-Test performance in learning disabled/ADHD children
    Integrates brain potentials, autonomic responses, and neuro-psychometric performances to discriminate normal from pathological children. [more]

  6. Change detection is impaired in children with dyslexia.
    Compared to normal readers, children with developmental dyslexia require a longer initial exposure of letters to detect changes of a letter. [more]

  7. Anterior-posterior beta asymmetries in dyslexia
    Dysphonetics showed higher beta power in anterior regions, while dyseidetics showed higher beta power in posterior relative, suggesting maladaptive compensatory strategies. [more]

  8. Alpha and beta band power changes in normal and dyslexic children.
    A strong beta-1b desynchronization above Broca's area (FC5) and the angular gyrus (CP5, P3), appears to reflect the graphemicphonetic encoding of words. [more]
