In this study, the central auditory processing (CAP) abilities of a group of low-achieving gifted high school students were measured and compared to matching groups of achieving gifted, average, and learning-disabled students. CAP skills were measured behaviorally, utilizing the Test for Auditory Processing Disorders in Adolescents and Children (SCAN:A). Results revealed significant CAP deficits in the low-achieving gifted group when compared to the achieving gifted and the average subjects. Furthermore, the CAP ability of the low-achieving gifted group was similar to that of the learning-disabled subjects. The nature of CAP disorders and suggested management strategies are discussed.

Twelve mildly handicapped (9 learning disabled, 2 educable mentally handicapped, and 1 emotionally handicapped) high-school students served as subjects in a study conducted to determine the effects of self-monitoring and recording on student on-task performance. Although only four students from three classes were targeted for data collection, all students in each class were taught how to self-monitor and record —first in the presence of audible cues and later independently as audible cues were faded. A multiple-baseline design across groups revealed a functional relationship between the intervention and increased on-task behavior. Changes were maintained as audible cues were faded. In addition, student accuracy data showed a relationship between increased on-task behavior and accurate self-recording. Anecdotal data indicated that students' academic performance improved in both training and nontraining settings.

A longitudinal design included 339 students from nine schools who responded to questionnaires from their sophomore to senior years from 1974–76. Using multivariate analysis of variance, it was shown that the extent to which students perceived open social studies classroom climates over this period was related to increases in political trust, integration, and interest, but a decrease in sense of political confidence.
