Abstract
Increased interest and research into the possible neuropsychological bases of learning and behavior problems seen in children has been sustained in the past decade by promising results from researchers in the fields of learning disabilities, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, and cognitive psychology. Advances have been made in the neuropsychological assessment of children, accuracy of identification of specific subtypes of learning problems, identification and measurement of possible underlying neural mechanisms of childhood learning and behavioral disorders, and in the understanding of how these factors may interact.
