Learning disabilities: diagnostic considerations from an educational perspective.
This article reviews the current definitions of specific learning disability (LD). It describes the multiple causes among the specific learning disability (SLD) population, citing cognitive, neuroanatomical, cellular, and genetic research trends. Emphasis is placed on assessment components and processes, including typically used academic, cognitive, and neuropsychological measures and newly introduced dynamic or domain-based approaches. Researchers and practitioners now acknowledge that SLD represents a life-long condition, manifesting differently at each developmental stage. The impact of LD on adult adjustment and independence is described as the newest challenge in the field of LD research.

New developments in research on aggression: an international report.
During the first week of July 1988, the International Society of Research on Aggression (ISRA) conducted its Eighth World Conference at the University College of Swansea in Wales, United Kingdom. The present paper reviews some of the highlights of the recent conference, with particular attention given to those topics that might be of interest to researchers and clinicians specializing in interpersonal violence. Topics include theoretical work, relevant animal studies, developmental and longitudinal studies of childhood aggression, child abuse, violence by adolescents, wife abuse and assault, biological correlates of aggression, and advances in measurement and assessment. The reported findings support an interdisciplinary approach to the study of interpersonal violence.
