THEMES

Advances in Neurocognitive and Social-Cognitive Assessment

– Behavioral and Cognitive Assessment: Assessing attention, working memory, and other executive functions in individuals with learning disabilities
– Assessment of Social-Emotional Performance: Evaluating emotional regulation, communication, and interactional competencies in learning disabilities
– Integrated Approaches to Cognitive and Emotional Profiling: Studying cognitive and social-emotional factors in learning disabilities

Profiles of Children with Learning Disabilities

– Distinct and Overlapping Cognitive Deficits in Learning Disabilities: Cognitive performance variability and objective measures of assessment
– Parental and Environmental Predictors of Learning Disabilities: Familial, socio-economic, and cultural contexts shaping cognitive and emotional outcomes in children with learning disabilities
– Dynamic Developmental Profiles: Cognitive and social-emotional deficits from early childhood to adolescence

Interventions for Cognitive and Social-Emotional Development

– Theory- and Evidence-Based Interventions for Enhancing Cognitive Processes: Theoretical assumptions and effectiveness
– School-Based Interventions for Socio-Emotional Difficulties of Young Learners with LD: Promoting empathy and positive social interactions
– Intervention outcomes in a diverse world: Examining the impact of various socio-cultural and educational contexts

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Learning Disabilities

– Bridging Neuroscience, Psychology, and Education: Scientific and pragmatic challenges in LD research
– Environmental and Socio-Cultural Factors in Learning Disabilities: Cultural influences, classroom dynamics, and community resources
