We hypothesized that children and adolescents with CP would demonstrate an impaired learning rate compared to
controls, as reported in studies with different neurological populations. To our knowledge, no study has specifically
addressed the issue of cognitive procedural learning among children and adolescents with CP. Yet, cognitive procedural
learning might underpin many cognitive abilities such as academic achievements (i.e., arithmetic, reading), known to be impaired among the CP population. Certainly, understanding the ability to acquire basic cognitive skills in children and adolescents with CP could help professionals compose specific intervention programs relevant to the individual’s learning
abilities.
