Solan, Harold A.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1985
In a study involving 48 kindergarten children, tests using tachistoscopic exposures, divided form boards, and grooved pegboards, all showed significant correlations with readiness. Results of the Auditory-Visual Integration Test were not significant at the kindergarten level. Findings suggest that individuals with good perceptual skills are likely…

Vance, Booney; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
The study involving 33 children referred to school psychologists compared the Bender Gestalt and the Minnesota Perceptual Diagnostic Test-Revised (MPDT-R) in ability to predict intellectual and academic performance as measured by standardized tests. Factor analysis suggested that the MPDT-R provides unique information concerning…

Porter, Gary L.; Binder, Dorothy M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
To determine the intertest reliability of the Beery Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration (VMI) and the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test (BGT), 64 six to nine year olds were administered both tests.

Cunningham, Mark D.; Murphy, Philip J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
The EEG biofeedback training produced baseline effects in the presumably dysfunctional left hemisphere and had an impact on arousal in task, suggesting remedial potential for the possible hemispheric arousal deficts in learning disabilities. Training the right hemisphere toward higher arousal and the left hemisphere toward lower arousal resulted…

Cherkes, Miriam – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
The processing of a transitivity task by 7-, 9-, 11-, and 13-year-old learning disabled children was studied. All Ss, regardless of age, received highest scores on tasks involving linguistic input. There was no evidence of a developmental shift from spatial into linguistic reasoning. (Author/SEW)

Canning, Patricia M.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
Male and female retarded readers (N=80) at two age levels (6.5 to 8.5 years and 10.5 to 12.5 years) did not differ significantly on a number of perceptual, visual-motor, linguistic, and concept formation abilities. (Author)

Dickstein, Ellen B.; Warren, David R. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
The study compared the cognitive, affective, and perceptual role taking skills of 38 learning disabled (LD) children (ages 5 to 8) with those of a control group of normal children. Ss were administered three role taking tasks which measured their skills in each of the domains. The results demonstrated a role taking deficit in the LD children.…

Chiarenza, Giuseppe Augusto – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1990
Eight reading-disordered and 9 nondisabled males (age 10) performed a skilled motor-perceptual task. The children with reading disorders were slower, less accurate, and achieved a smaller number of target performances. Their brain macropotentials associated with motor programing, processing of sensory information, and evaluation of the results…

Waldron, Karen A.; Saphire, Diane G. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1990
Twenty-four gifted children with learning disabilities and a control group of nondisabled gifted children were administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. The 8- to 12-year-old subjects were found to be more reliant on verbal conceptualization and reasoning than controls and demonstrated deficiencies in short-term auditory…

Kaplan, Bonnie J.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1993
This study analyzed the efficacy of sensory integration treatment by combining data from a study of 96 Canadian children (29 from Alberta and 67 from Ontario children and all aged 5-8). Results indicate that the therapeutic effect of sensory integration treatment is not greater than other, more traditional methods of intervention. (Author/JDD)
