dc.description.abstractThe idea that learning disabilities are the result of deficiencies in one or more of the basic psychological processes required for learning is a core concept that needs to be maintained. However, problems in the application of traditional process-oriented approaches to diagnosis and treatment of learning disabilities suggest a need to alter the manner in which these basic processes are conceptualized and measured. Evidence from research in cognitive development indicates the need to change from child-centered process assessment to measurement of processes required for the performance of specific academic tasks in specific settings. This report suggests that such a change not only will encourage the search for the processing deficiencies underlying different kinds of learning disabilities but also will make the assessment of processes more relevant to education.en_US
