Book excerpt: This dissertation reports results of analyses of an archival dataset created at a large Midwestern public university, where staff at the university's resource center for students with disabilities conduct neuropsychological evaluations of students suspected of psychological disabilities, learning disabilities, or both. To explore the relations among the variables, analyses included standardized cognitive and achievement test scores, psychological rating scales results, resource center service utilization, and seven to eight consecutive semesters of grade-point average information of approximately 1292 students evaluated from 2000 to 2012. Descriptions of the cognitive and achievement variables are provided for the largest demographic and diagnostic groups. Demographic groups include male, female, Caucasian, African American, Latino, and Asian/Indian students; diagnostic groups include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - predominantly combined type (ADHD-C), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - predominantly inattentive type (ADHD-I), anxiety, depression, verbal learning disability (VLD), nonverbal learning disability (NVLD), foreign language learning difficulty (FLLD), and "No Diagnosis." Results of analyses indicated that 1) The model of latent cognitive abilities suggested by this sample's results largely matches, with minor variations, those of models proposed by researchers who have analyzed the standardization samples of the intelligence and achievement batteries used in this investigation, 2) Cognitive-achievement relations, as suggested by results obtained on two standardized tests of cognitive abilities and selected subtests of a standardized achievement test, generally match, with minor variations, results of past analyses of college students, and 3) A proposed model of the influence of disability services utilization on grade-point average slope was not supported by analyses using structural equation modeling. Latent growth curve analyses indicated, however, that students' grade point average slopes improved after neuropsychological evaluation.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, 11.3 percent of undergraduate students have been classified with learning disabilities (Horn & Nevil, 2006). Multiple variables have been shown to influence academic success, including effort, self-efficacy, and cognition, but no study has been conducted on the relative contribution of each factor to success in students with learning disabilities in college. This dissertation examined effort, self-efficacy, and cognition in relation to academic success. Participants were undergraduates (N=27) at a private northeastern university who were receiving accomodations from the university's Academic Support Center for already identified specific learning disabilities (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act, Pub L. No. 108-445, 20, 118 Stat. 2647, 2004). Participants were evaluated on multiple measures to assess effort (Word Memory Test {WMT}; (Green, Allen, & Astner, 1996), self-efficacy (The College Academic Self-Efficacy Scale {CASES}; Owen & Froman, 1988), and cognitive ability (Woodcock Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, Third Edition; Woodcock, McGrew, & Mather, 2001). A multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine if these measures, separately or in combination, would predict participants' undergraduate Grade Point Average. It was hypothesized that at least one of the three predictor variables (i.e., effort, efficacy, and cognitive ability) would emerge as a strong predictor of GPA; however, the results of the regression analysis did not support this hypothesis (Rsquare=0.139, F {3, 23} + 1.242, p=0.317). However, 100 percent of participants reported that their academic accommodations were very helpful in their postsecondary success (18.2% of participants gave a rating of 5; 45.5% gave a rating of 6, and 36.4% gave a rating of 7 on a scale of 1-7). Implications of the findings are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of this book is to provide teachers, psychologists, physicians and concerned professionals with an interdisciplinary view of learners and schooling by applying the current knowledge of neuropsychology and the concepts of cognitive psychology to instruction and to the assessment, evaluation and remediation of individuals with reading, language and writing difficulties. The author presents theoretical and experimental evidence and recommends the practical applications to classroom and clinic settings of current theory and research, describes and analyzes methods of instruction, and provides direction in the administration of diagnostic tests and the interpretation of test achievement. Theories are described and restated as they are relevant to instruction, assessment and evaluation. The goal is to enable educators and psychologists to effectively and efficiently assist students and clients to achieve competency in literacy and academic tasks and to introduce physicians to the cognitive and affective components of schooling. This comprehensive book was written to serve as a text in graduate courses in psychology, diagnosis and remediation of reading and writing difficulties, as well as for practica in neuropsychological aspects of reading and learning disabilities, and psychoeducational evaluation of learning problems.
