Cognitive Control Functioning in Hyperactive and Nonhyperactive Learning Disabled Children

Albert J. Cotugno is attending child psychologist at the Hall-Mercer Children's Center of McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, and instructor in psychology, Harvard Medical School. He is also coordinator of clinical services, Cognitive Therapy and Diagnostic Service, Wellesley, MA. He received his PhD in educational psychology from the University of California at Berkeley. Address: Albert J. Cotugno, 169 Grove St., Wellesley, MA 02181.

This study compared the performance of children designated as hyperactive learning disabled (HLD) and nonhyperactive learning disabled (NHLD) with a controlgroup of nonlearning disabled (nonLD) children. Results indicated that both HLD and NHLD children process information significantly less efficiently than nonLD children. However, HLD children can be differentiated further from NHLD children on several cognitive control variables viewed as critical to learning. The results are discussed in terms of differences in cognitive functioning between groups.
