Abstract
This article reports the findings of two studies involving comprehension and retention of implied information in learning disabled and normally achieving second and sixth graders. In the first study, evidence was obtained of inadequate processing of implied information in learning disabled children in both grades. In the second study, a simple questions/prompts procedure brought about improved/adequate processing of implied information in new, comparable groups of learning disabled second and sixth graders. The results were interpreted to support Torgesen's conceptualization of the learning disabled child as an inactive learner. Lastly, educational implications of the results were discussed.
