Abstract

This study intends to inquiry the construct underlying a broad variability of unespecific diagnoses, on students with school learning difficulties, disseminated in the scientific literature and presented as different gnoseological entities. The findings expose the presence of a general factor that explains greatly the variance in space data, wich denotes the existence of a one-factor construct, jointly with others specific factors responsive for the diagnostical complexity. A later discriminant analysis clarifies those items or symptoms discriminate students with learning difficulties from the regular students according to the ratings of their respective teachers.
