AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to identify cognitive abilities and attitudes that influence both reading and math learning difficulties among adolescents, highlighting implications for intervention strategies.
  • A sample of 315 adolescents in grades 7 and 8 underwent assessments of intelligence, memory, attention, and academic attitudes, with teacher reports on attention in class.
  • Findings revealed that intelligence and classroom attention were key predictors of reading and math achievement, and emphasized the role of verbal memory and math self-efficacy in distinguishing between students with different learning difficulties.

Article Abstract

The goal was to identify the domain-general cognitive abilities and academic attitudes that are common and unique to reading and mathematics learning difficulties that in turn will have implications for intervention development. Across seventh and eighth grade, 315 (155 boys) adolescents ( age = 12.75 years) were administered intelligence, verbal short-term and working memory, and visuospatial memory, attention, and ability measures, along with measures of English and mathematics attitudes and mathematics anxiety. Teachers reported on students' in-class attentive behavior. A combination of Bayesian and multi-level models revealed that intelligence and in-class attentive behavior were common predictors of reading accuracy, reading fluency, and mathematics achievement. Verbal short-term memory was more critical for reading accuracy and fluency, whereas spatial ability and mathematics self-efficacy were more critical for mathematics achievement. The combination of intelligence and in-class attentive behavior discriminated typically achieving students from students with comorbid ( = 2.44) or mathematics ( = 1.59) learning difficulties, whereas intelligence, visuospatial attention, and verbal short-term memory discriminated typically achieving students from students with reading disability ( = 1.08). The combination of in-class attentive behavior, verbal short-term memory, and mathematics self-efficacy discriminated students with mathematics difficulties from their peers with reading difficulties ( = 1.16). Given the consistent importance of in-class attentive behavior, we conducted follow-up analyses. The results suggested that students with poor in-class attentive behavior were disengaging from academic learning which in turn contributed to their risk of learning difficulties.
