Abstract Details

2005, Master of Arts, Miami University, Speech Pathology and Audiology.
This study investigated the learning and memory patterns in low-income, African-American children ages 9-13 with specifi learning disabilities in the area of language (SLD/SLI)as compared to typically developing peers. All subjects (n=34) were administered the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT-C) and the experimental tasks. The experimental tasks measured supralist free recall under three presentation modalities; auditory, visual and simultaneous presentation of auditory and visual. Results indicate SLD/SLI children show significantly slower rates of learning than controls. Additionally, the visual presentation modality, with or without auditory information, demonstrates significantly better learning rates than the auditory modality alone. The results support the hypotheses stating that SLD/SLI children learn verbal information at a slower rate than typical children and the superiority of the visual presentation modality for verbal learning and memory.
