Abstract
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.Keywords
