Diagnosing Learning Disabilities and Writing Remedial Prescriptions

Bannatyne, Alex·1968·Journal of Learning Disabilities

Abstract

Diagnosis is a concept with many labels, and many people in different disciplines or having different viewpoints may choose a particular term to their liking. Some part-synonyms used for discovering ‘what is wrong’ with fellow human beings are assessment, evaluation, task-analysis, investigation, check-up, finding out, observing behavior, problem-solving, etc. We will not be far away from a satisfactory definition of diagnosis if we accept Webster's three versions and slightly modify them. On this basis, a diagnosis is the act or process of deciding the nature of a disorder or disability by examination and through the examination making a careful investigation of the facts to determine the nature or basis of the problem. The final diagnosis is the decision from such an examination or investigation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
