In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) in discriminating auditory or visual deficits, 121 learning disabled children (mean age 100 months) were tested. (PHR)

Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (12th, San Francisco, California, November 1, 1969). (RJ)

Performances on the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test and on a visual discrimination task using the same forms were found not to be related. Implication for identification of perceptual deficiencies and subsequent perceptual training are discussed. (KW)

Disfunctions are drawn between visual perception and visual function, and four optometrists respond with further analysis of the visual perception-visual function controversy and its implications for children with learning problems. (CL)

Evaluation of the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception found that it measured a single general factor of perceptual organization which was weakly related to IQ and unrelated to reading ability. (KW)

The effects of unilateral and bilateral ear occlusion on auditory discrimination in background noise was tested among 36 adults with auditory figure-ground disorders and normal auditory discrimination ability. Results indicated that unilateral occlusion effectively eliminated the figure-ground disorder in most subjects. (Author/DB)

Twenty-four adult patients who presented to a number of hospital services with complaints related to difficulty in hearing, understanding, remembering, or writing were examined for auditory perceptual disorders. Results support the desirability of examining auditory perceptual abilities in adults even though the tools available are designed…

Clear quantitative and qualitative differences in visual scanning strategies were found between the groups and discussed with respect to differences between perceptually impaired and normal children's rates of encoding information and reliance upon visual memory. (Author)

The study provides descriptive data on use of the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability with 39 adults with closed head injury. Correlational analyses indicated significant relationships between coma duration and performance on the Perceptual Speed and Memory clusters of the test. Time since injury did not correlate with test results.…

The investigation attempted to determine first, the correlations among the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception, the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test, and an experimental Visual Discrimination Test of Words and second, the visual perceptual factors that emerged when the data were treated factorially.
