Weber, Gail Yerby – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
A comparison study involving 50 second-through-fifth graders was designed to analyze the relationships between the incidence of visual abnormalities and high and low academic achievement. Data suggested that children with deficient visual skills may experience greater problems academically. (SBH)

Polatajko, H. J. – Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, 1987
Differences in visual-ocular function, particularly optokinetic nystagmus (OKN), were compared with 40 learning disabled and 40 normal children (8-12 years-old). No significant differences were found between groups on the variables tested (refixation saccades, smooth ocular pursuit, spontaneous nystagmus, gaze nystagmus, and OKN). (Author/DB)

Wachs, Harry – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
The author discusses applying J. Piaget's philosophy to the treatment of learning-related visual problems by first probing for the available knowledge in the person's ocular sensorimotor intelligence, visual thinking, and logical reasons. Then, through tasks, the individual is encouraged to engage in high-level thinking in the undeveloped areas.…

Forrest, Elliott B. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
The role of visual imagery is explored as an information processing strategy, and its relationship is counterpointed to the linguistic system. The importance of visual imagery as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool to aid both visual and nonvisual performance and learning problems is discussed. (Author)

Ludlam, William M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
The literature relating visual problems, reading, and academic difficulties with neurophysiological mechanisms shows positive interaction among these factors. Both visual-evoked response and encephalographic studies show parietal or occipitoparietal neurophysiological anomalies which can be used to discriminate between normal and disabled readers…

Bing, Lois – Journal of Clinical Reading: Research and Programs, 1983
Offers three reasons as to why some children encounter difficulty with educational activities involving vision: (1) inability to perceive and hold detail in mind, (2) lack of time given to accomplish task, and (3) introducing too many activities at one time. (MG)
