Children classified as learning disabled very often show special weakness on the WISC‐R Coding subtest. Past research has suggested memory, writing speed, and paired‐associate learning rate to be important factors in Coding performance. It is suggested that visual perceptual factors also may be important and that Coding performance in right‐handed persons may be especially sensitive to integrity of the left cerebral hemisphere. A measure of writing speed and a large‐print version of the WISC‐R Coding subtest were administered to 283 children. Norms are provided for these two measures.
