Evaluation of Cognitive and Metacognitive Training in University Students with a Specific Learning Disability

摘要

Specific learning disabilities present problems. Although they appear at a younger school age, they are oftentimes not successfully compensated and last until adulthood. Within the scope of university counselling a cognitive and metacognitive intervention programme has been established, the effects of which have been validated in the presented pilot study. Results show that cognitive and metacognitive intervention can have a positive effect on study skills and results in university students.
