Abstract
Children with "minimal brain dysfunction" and learning disabilities were found to have significantly more minor neurological signs than control children. Many of these signs become less obvious or disappear by the age of 11 years; therefore older cases are more similar to controls, whereas younger cases show lags or deficits at the highest levels of central nervous system functioning-language, fine motor co-ordination and cross-modality integrations.Keywords
