Objectives:

To study the neuro-cognitive functioning of children with learning difficulties .

Method:

Forty children studying in English medium schools in Delhi from Grade 2nd to 5th who were reported to be having learning difficulties. The children were divided into two groups (n=20, each.) One of the groups had children having learning disability. The other group had children with learning difficulties but without any diagnosable psychiatric/ emotional/ behavioural problems. All children were assessed for their intelligence, scholastic performance (on three basic subjects- Hindi, English and Mathematics)); Sustained attention; Verbal Working Memory, Visual Learning and Memory; Verbal Learning and Memory , Verbal Comprehension, Visuo-Constructive Ability and Visuo-Conceptual Skills.

Conclusions:

There were no differences among children on other assessed functions.
