The Psychology of Special, Disability in Spelling (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Psychology of Special, Disability in Spelling The experiment here described was carried on during the aca demic year 1916 - 1917 at Teachers College, Columbia University. We wished (i) to observe, over a considerable period of time, the learning of pupils with special pedagogical defects, i.e., those pupils who are of normal general capacity, but Who are incompetent in one particular school subject; (2) to apply psychological tests to such pupils, with a view to a diagnosis of their disabilities; and (3) to discover and devise, if might be, remedies for such defects. Incidentally we wished also to. Study the psychological processes involved in mastering the two school subjects, arithmetic and spelling. Two experiments were therefore undertaken, one with pupils who showed special disability in arithmetic, and another with pupils who showed special disability in spelling. The present report has to do with the group whose defect was in spelling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
