  • Investigated why dyslexic children with mathematical potential do not perform as well as their nondyslexic counterparts on standardized math tests. A computational test and the Wechsler Memory Scale were administered to 4 groups, each with 27 children (aged 10–14 yrs). The groups were composed of (1) dyslexic Ss who demonstrated high abstract reasoning ability; (2) dyslexic Ss with average reasoning ability, (3) nondyslexic, mathematically gifted Ss; and (4) nondyslexic Ss with average mathematical ability. The performance of the high dyslexic group in abstract reasoning and logical thinking equaled that of the mathematically gifted nondyslexic Ss, while both were superior to the average nondyslexics, who, in turn, were superior to the average dyslexics. There was a significant interaction of dyslexia and giftedness in abstract reasoning, but results suggest that giftedness more than compensated for dyslexia in this ability. The memory skills of all dyslexic Ss were inferior to those of all nondyslexic Ss. It is concluded that tests of abstract reasoning may be used to identify dyslexic children with superior mathematical ability. (21 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
