Hampered Production of Words as a Characteristic of School Failure

A. van der Wissel is director of the Pedological Institute at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. His main research interest is concerned with the learning difficulties children experience in the school situation. After completing his master's degree at the University of Amsterdam he worked for a number of years as a school psychologist before moving to the University of Groningen. He obtained his doctorate in the social sciences at the latter University. Address: A. van der Wissel, Department of Developmental Psychology, University of Groningen, Oude Boteringestraat 34, 9712 GK Groningen, The Netherlands.

The present study demonstrated that children with learning problems are characterized not by a restricted vocabulary as such (i.e., the variance common to both receptive and productive vocabulary measures), but by a hampered production of words (i.e., the variance common to both speed-of-naming and productive vocabulary measures).
