A sample of 453 Australian children was followed over the first three years of schooling. Behaviour problems were assessed at the beginning of the first year at school and at the end of the second and third years. At the end of the third year the children were classified as specific reading retarded, general reading backward or normal. At school entry backward readers were found to have behaviour problems, principally relating to attentional deficit. It was concluded that this factor may play a causative role in their reading difficulty. Retarded readers, on the other hand, showed no evidence of behaviour problems.
对453名澳大利亚儿童进行了为期三年的跟踪研究，涵盖其入学后的最初三年。在入学第一年开始时、第二年结束时和第三年结束时对行为问题进行了评估。在第三年结束时，这些儿童被分为特定阅读障碍、一般阅读落后或正常三类。入学时阅读落后的儿童被发现存在行为问题，主要与注意力缺陷有关。研究得出结论，这个因素可能在他们的阅读困难中起因果作用。另一方面，阅读障碍儿童没有表现出行为问题的迹象。
