Abstract
The article presents a study aimed at examining the verbal learning performance and the semantic organization used by Greek reading-disabled readers as compared to a control group using a list-learning task. The study was conducted to 45 elementary school children with reading difficulties and 45 comparison children matched for age and gender. It reveals that the reading difficulties group had lower levels of verbal acquisition, but did not differ in learning rate.
