Synopsis

This book addresses the cognitive characteristics of learning in disabled, slow learning, nonhandicapped and gifted learners. The authors take a systems view which emphasizes the interlocking influences of the child's own internal world and the external social and instructional constraints. They present new empirical research, showing the types of spontaneous cognitive processes which are used by four groups of learners. The aim of this book is to establish an appreciation for the cognitive context of the individual child rather than to assume, as is often the case, that a single model for learning should apply to all children. This monograph develops a complete view of the cognitive characteristics of atypical learners in the context of more substantial approaches to instruction.
