Abstract
Three groups of learning disabled boys--hyperactives, normoactives, and hypoactives--were studied in grade school, reevaluated at fourteen. At follow-up, all three groups remained at disadvantage to controls on academic and cognitive measures and on complex reaction time. Half the hyperactives had experienced major conflicts with authority, and over a third of hypoactives exhibited psychologically disturbing behaviors. Mental health of normoactives appeared comparable to controls.Keywords
