Background: The phenomenon of learning disability is increasingly occupying the centre stage all over the world. Still, there is no commonly agreed definition for the condition. Method: This study attempts a comparative analysis of the similarities or differences between 23 official definitions of learning disability derived from various sources. By using a quantitative-cum-qualitative systematic procedure of identification and listing the attributes, prioritizing and rank ordering them, assigning of appropriate weights before deducing their conceptual meaning, observations on the nomenclature and content characteristics of the definitions were created as basic data units to be undertaken in this analysis. Results: There is plurality of definitions amidst varying emphasis on nature or content of especially seven majorly identified attributes with little agreement on what qualities characterize the condition of learning disability. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of the need for quantifying or establishing the empirical veracity of the identified attributes before explicating a cohesive or meaningful overall re-statement on definition of learning disabilities.  The need for cross cultural and transnational research is highlighted.

Child Neuropsychology

Learning disabilities in childhood are often caused by certain delays in language and higher mental functions development. So nowadays comprehensive research of child language development and its neuropsychological base is of great demand. The objective of the present study was to discover relationships between children’s age, certain characteristics of speech production, neuropsychological and neurolinguistic development. 126 students (51 first-graders and 75 second-graders) were recruited. They underwent complete neuropsychological assessment along with the trial “Creating a Story based on the series of pictures”. The results show that age is an important factor of neuropsychological development from the first to second grade. It concerns especially frontal lobe development. Neuropsychological development also correlates with neurolinguistical level: children who are better at programming and control, analytic and holistic strategies would be more successful in the trial “Creating a Story based on the series of pictures”, their speech would be more correct lexically as well as grammatically and syntactically. We also show that speech particularitiesand their correlation with neuropsychological indexes would vary in first- and second grades. Keywords: Lurian neuropsychology; child neuropsychology; neurolinguistics; neuropsychological development; Creating a Story based on the series of pictures; speech.

We present the results of a longitudinal study of the formation of grafomotor skills in primary school children of 7–9 years old (students of I-II grades). With the help of a computerized test of serial organization of movements and writing in conjunction with the general neuropsychological testing in children, we revealed patterns of study skills development in health and learning disabilities. The development of grafomotor skills from I to II class in successful and unsuccessful learners is uneven: second-graders perform tasks faster and with fewer regulatory errors, but the spatial characteristics of letters deteriorate. Children with learning disabilities have deficit in the formation and automation of grafomotor and writing skills that can be associated with the identified deficiency of programming and monitoring functions in this group, as well as the serial organization of movements. In addition, a comparative analysis of the relationships between age, social factors (class) and the formation of the tested function, allowed to detect a greater social influence on this process.

Similarities And Differences

Learning assistance or support is essential for a learner regardless of their cognitive ability and learning preference. Computer assisted learning (CAL) is one of the facilitation that widely explored as alternative learning assistances with different concepts, approaches, contents and target users. The main concern of this study is to explore and identify learning concepts and approaches that have been employed in previous research for normal and learning disabilities learners. In relation with the intention, 15 articles from past five years (2010 – 2014) are selected for review and analysis processes in this comparative analysis study. The finding shows some similarities and differences of CAL concept and approach for both type of learners. Some insights and suggestions are drawn based on the extracted concepts and approaches specifically for low achieving children as their learning assistance in primary school.
