Visual-Motor Problems of Adolescents Who Attempt Suicide.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kenny, Thomas J.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
Using the Canter Background Interference Procedure with the Bender Gestalt Test, a group of 18 adolescent suicide attempters earned test scores indicating they had significantly more problems with visual motor coordination than did a control group of 21 adolescents. (Author/SBH)

Effects of Training in Directionality on Reversals in Reading and Writing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Steen, Marcia; Sowell, Virginia – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Twenty-four children (8 to 9 years old) who reversed letters were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group (15 additional minutes of laterality training per day for 4 weeks). Analysis of results demonstrated that training did not significantly affect the number of reversals. (Author/CL)

Dyslexia and Classic Pathognomic Signs.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Collette, Martha A. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
Among the findings of the study of 141 dyslexic, reading retarded, and normal reading children was that the classic pathognomic signs of dyslexia (such as letter reversals and rotations) were reliably associated with poor reading but not specifically with diagnosed dyslexia. (Author/DLS)

Treatment of Handwriting Problems Utilizing EMG Biofeedback Training.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hughes, Howard; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
The effects of electromyogram (EMG) biofeedback training on cursive handwriting were investigated with nine fourth graders. A significant reduction in EMG between the first baseline session and last training session was obtained. Four of five characteristics of handwriting improved significantly. (Author/SBH)

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bruininks, Virginia L.; Bruininks, Robert H. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977
The motor proficiency of 55 learning disabled and 55 nondisabled students (mean age 9 years) was compared on a comprehensive battery of motor-skills tests. (Author/CL)

A Test Battery to Assess Intrasensory and Intersensory Development of Young Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Temple, Ina G.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
A battery of 15 tests (four visual, four auditory, four tactile-kinesthetic, and three intersensory) were administered to 109 normally developing (6-8 year old) and 32 learning disabled (6-11 year old) children. (Author/SBH)

Function of Color in Learning an Assembly Task by Learning Disabled Adolescents.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rutherford, Robert B., Jr.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
Findings indicated that, in general, seeing a training film in color did not enhance performance; in fact it appeared to have inhibited it. (Author/DLS)

Reliability of the Matching Familiar Figures Test Scores of Learning Disabled Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Epstein, Michael H.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977
The reliability of the Matching Familiar Figures Test, a measure of reflection-impulsivity, with 20 impulsive learning disabled boys (mean age 10 years) was investigated. nAuthor)

Dimensions of Problem Behavior in Learning Disabled and Normal Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Touliatos, John; Lindholm, Byron W. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
The study examined behavior disorders of learning disabled (N=94) and normal (N=2,991) children in Grades K through 8, using the behavior problem checklist. Learning disabled youngsters had significantly more problems on four of the five checklist dimensions (conduct problems, personality problems, inadequacy-immaturity, and psychotic signs).…

Dyslexia, an Imbalance in Cerebral Information-Processing Strategies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aaron, P. G. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
Twenty-eight reading disabled children (in grades 2-4) were divided (on the basis of the nature of errors made in a writing from dictation task), into two groups--analytic-sequential deficient and holistic-simultaneous deficient. (Author/PHR)

The Slingerland Screening Tests for Identifying Children with Specific Language Disability: Screening for Learning Disabilities in First Grade.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dinero, Thomas E.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
The responses on the Slingerland Screening Tests for identifying children with specific learning disabilities of 29 learning disabled and 11 nondisabled children in Grade 1 distinguished the two groups, except for copying (near vision). Copying (far vision) and auditory, visual, and kinesthetic perception and discrimination together were the…

Nystagmus Duration Changes of Learning Disabled Children during Sensory Integrative Therapy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ottenbacher, Kenneth; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
Ss displaying initial subnormal nystagmic functioning responded to therapy with increases in duration, while other Ss displayed decreases; these effects were more apparent after long therapy. (Author/DLS)

Effects of Relaxation Training on Cursive Handwriting of Fourth Grade Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jackson, Karen; Hughes, Howard – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
A relaxation method for handwriting improvement was examined using experimental and no-treatment control groups composed of 10 students receiving a poor rating on handwriting characteristics and a normal control group of 10 composed of students receiving average ratings. (Author/PHR)
