“…This referencing is done by effectively organizing or indexing (e.g., class affiliation and subordinate properties) the two (visual, verbal) memory inputs (e.g., Bub et al, 1988;Jolicoeur et al, 1984;Nelson et al, 1977;te Linde, 1982). In relation to reading ability, several studies (e.g., Ceci et al, 1980;Lorsbach, 1982;Perfetti et al-reported in Perfetti and Lesgold, 1979;Swanson, 1984b;Vellutino et al, 1975b,c;Zecker and Zinner, 1987) suggest LD readers have difficulty linking visual and verbal information into the semantic network. I will briefly review some of my studies that support this assumption, and draw my conclusions from three different memory tasks.…”
