Abstract
Objective: This work was designed to assess the selective attention in children with reading disorder (RD) using negative difference wave test (Nd) or processing negativity (PN) and Stroop test.
Design: The study included 40 children, divided into two groups; study group (SG) and control group (CG). SG consisted of 20 children with [RD]. CG consists of 20 normal children. All children were submitted to basic audiological evaluation, negative difference (Nd) wave test and Stroop test.
Results: The reading disorder (RD) group showed delayed latency and decreased amplitude for both components of Nd. Results of Stroop test were significantly high among children with reading disorder compared with normal control.
Conclusion: In children with learning disability, selective attention is affected. Poor selective attention may contribute to poor letter and word recognition.
