R.O. Pihl is professor of phychology at McGill University and received his PhD degree in psychology from Arizona State University.

The present study was carried out to evaluate whether learning disabled children have difficulty making intersensory and intrasensory matches relative to normal controls. Also evaluated was whether a single psychological process accounted for performance in these tasks and whether the observed relationship was similar for LD and normal children. It was found that although LD children did more poorly than normal children at these tasks, the psychological processes related to performance were, with one exception, similar between groups. A single factor did not emerge to explain integration performance. Differences in the factor structure of the performance tests of the two groups were also found, although anomalies in the factor structure of the performance tests in the LD disabled group may relate to their matching deficits.
