Deno, Stanley L.; Chiang, Berttram – 1979
The paper examines the nature and remediation of reversal errors in five severely learning disabled boys (9-11 years old). Results of four phases (baseline and incentive conditions) are analyzed for timed and untimed performance of letter recognition. Among results cited are that for all Ss, errors in naming occurred with the letters p, d, b, and…

Burke, James P. – 1988
The practicum designed a perceptual activities program for learning disabled second graders using computer-assisted instruction. The program develops skills involving visual motor coordination, figure-ground differentiation, form constancy, position in space, and spatial relationships. Five behavioral objectives for each developmental area were…

Frostig, Marianne – 1978
The author discusses the role of perceptual training in the education of young perceptually handicapped children. Distinctions are drawn between perception and awareness, and the necessity of stimulation to encourage infant and child learning is emphasized. Commonalities between perception and learning are underscored. The author stresses that…

Jani, Subhash Natwerlal; Swanson, Bonnie H. – 1976
The Motoric-Perceptual-Conceptual/Behavioral (MPC/B) model, a developmentally eclectic approach to evaluating and remediating learning disabilities in children, is described. The model is explained to view learners and the learning process on three educational levels (preschool, elementary school, and high school/post school), on three subject…

Zaeske, Arnold – 1975
The basis of perception is found in the sensory experiences of an individual. Cognition, in turn, may be thought of as organized perceptions. Hence, diagnosis of learning disabilities should start with an assessment of the sensory skills in order to gain insight into the probable perceptual and cognitive problems involved in learning. The taxonomy…

Oxford, Rebecca L. – 1978
Frequently a variety of visual perception difficulties correlate with reading disabilities. A study was made to investigate the relationship between visual perception and reading disability in families, and to explore the genetic aspects of the relationship. One-hundred twenty-five reading-disabled students, ages 7.5 to 12 years, were matched with…

Ohnmacht, Fred W.; Fleming, James T. – 1977
The difficulties children have when learning to read vary from child to child and from age to age. Some learning variables transfer as a child develops so that skills acquired in early learning stages transfer to more mature stages of development. However, the abilities that transfer and produce effects at one stage of learning may be different…

Kauffman, Nancy Allen – 1980
Seven characteristics of the learning disabled child are described and suggestions to remediate these problems, from the viewpoint of an occupational therapist, are provided. Following are the seven areas (with sample teaching suggestions in parentheses): (1)tactile defensiveness (encourage children to use sand, clay, and finger paint with sawdust…

D'Annunzio, Anthony – 1975
The purpose of this research study was to compare two kinds of perceptual training for kindergarteners. A control group was grouped for instruction in visual or auditory perception. The children whose weaker modality was auditory received an "Open Court" program which stressed the acquisition of phonetic skills. The Frostig-Horne program was given…

Forer, Ruth; And Others – 1975
This paper reviews studies on cognitive processes that may mediate the development of early learning problems. Topics covered include auditory and visual discrimination deficits, integration of information from different modalities, the significance of attentional factors, contributions of memory factors, and the importance of cognitive style…

Nicholson, Charles L.; Alcorn, Charles L. – 1993
The use of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Third Edition (WISC-III) and its interpretation in educational use are discussed. To measure intelligence, Wechsler believed one must measure the various aptitudes that contribute to the total behavior of the individual. The WISC-III has six verbal subtests and seven performance subtests.…
