Copying a text quickly and accurately is important both in school and in daily life. However, this skill has never been systematically studied, either in children with typical development (TD) or in children with specific learning disabilities (SLD). The aim of this research was to study the features of a copy task and its relationship with other writing tasks. For this purpose, 674 children with TD and 65 children with SLD from Grades 6 through 8 in Italy were tested with a copy task and other writing assessment tasks, measuring three aspects of writing: handwriting speed, spelling, and expressive writing. Children with SLD performed worse on the copy task, both in terms of speed and accuracy, than children with TD. Copy speed was predicted by grade level and by all three major writing skills for children with TD but only by handwriting speed and spelling for children with SLD. Copy accuracy was predicted by gender and the three major writing skills for children with TD but only by spelling for children with SLD. These results suggest that children with SLD also have difficulty copying a text and benefit less than children with TD from their other writing skills.
快速准确地抄写文本在学校和日常生活中都很重要。然而，无论是在发育正常的儿童（TD）还是在患有特定学习障碍的儿童（SLD）中，这项技能从未得到过系统的研究。本研究的目的是研究抄写任务的特点及其与其他写作任务的关系。为此，对意大利6至8年级的674名发育正常的儿童和65名患有特定学习障碍的儿童进行了抄写任务和其他写作评估任务测试，测量写作的三个方面：书写速度、拼写和表达性写作。患有特定学习障碍的儿童在抄写任务中的速度和准确性方面都比发育正常的儿童表现更差。对于发育正常的儿童，抄写速度由年级水平和所有三项主要写作技能预测，但对于患有特定学习障碍的儿童，仅由书写速度和拼写预测。对于发育正常的儿童，抄写准确性由性别和三项主要写作技能预测，但对于患有特定学习障碍的儿童，仅由拼写预测。这些结果表明，患有特定学习障碍的儿童在抄写文本时也有困难，并且与发育正常的儿童相比，从其他写作技能中受益更少。
