Learning Disabilities: Debates on definitions, causes, subtypes, and responses (2011, background): “Other questions of interest will be whether the impairments in comorbid disabilities are non‐additive; that is, whether children with comorbid disabilities are more impaired in a particular domain than those with a single disability only, whether the pattern of strengths and weaknesses is different ”
Preschool twin study of the relation between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and prereading skills (2006, neutral): “…have found that individuals with both RD and ADHD exhibit a more severe profile of neurocognitive difficulties than individuals with RD alone (e.g., Rucklidge & Tannock, 2002; Willcutt et al., 2001), although this pattern is not found on all measures or in all studies (e.g., Willcutt et al., 2005).”
Attentional control and the Simple View of reading (2009, background): “Finally, a few studies have shown that poor response inhibition in children with reading disability is not explained by comorbid ADHD (Purvis & Tannock, 2000; Willcutt, Pennington, Olson, Chhabildas, & Huslander, 2005; but see Rucklidge & Tannock, 2002; Willcutt et al., 2001).”
Validity of the executive function theory of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a meta-analytic review. (2005, methodology): “…Petrides and Milner (1982); 15, Robbins et al (1998); 16, Rowe et al (2001); 17, Rubia (1999); 8, Sartory et al (2002); 19, Vaidya et al (1998); 20, Willcutt et al (2005a); 21, Willcutt et al (2001). cWorking memory measures included in the meta-analysis require both storage and manipulation of…”
A meta-analysis of executive functioning in dyslexia with consideration of the impact of comorbid ADHD (2019, background): “This is largely consistent with literature reporting inhibitory processing deficits in children with a reading disability (Närhi & Ahonen, 1995; Nigg, 1999; Purvis & Tannock, 2000; van der Schoot et al., 2000; Willcutt et al., 2005).”
Evaluation of a Mindfulness-based Intervention for Adolescents with Learning Disabilities and Co-occurring ADHD and Anxiety (2012, background): “ders, research suggests that a common deficit in EF explains the high degree of overlap (Seidman et al. 2001; Willcutt et al. 2005).”
Rapid automatized naming (RAN) and reading fluency: implications for understanding and treatment of reading disabilities. (2012, background): “Global processing speed deficits have been associated with other developmental difficulties, including general learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Willcutt et al. 2005).”
