Peer reviewedPontius, Anneliese A. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Compared to normal readers, the dyslexic children not only drew significantly more "neolithic faces" but also made more errors of spatial displacement (up/down or right/left) on parts of asymmetric figures, while among both groups there were similar percentages who made no errors in the global rotation of figures.

Peer reviewedBauserman, Deborah N.; Obrzut, John E. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Elaborative rehearsal strategies rather than nonelaborative rehearsal strategies (repetition only) discriminated between the two groups of fifth and sixth graders. The organizational ability represented in elaborative rehearsal strategies was the hypothesized mechanism responsible for the better long-term memory and total recall observed in…

Peer reviewedFisher, Eve P.; Fisher, Rhoda L. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Values and child-rearing attitudes of parents of three groups of children (enuretics, clinically symptomatic nonenuretics, normals) were evaluated by the Study of Values and Parental Attitude Research Instrument. Parents of the first two groups did not differ from each other, but they differed significantly from parents of normals. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedGordon, Michael; Oshman, Harvey – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
The Rorschach protocols of 20 boys (ages 6-11 years) rated by their teachers as hyperactive and those of 20 nonhyperactive boys were compared along 16 indices. Findings are discussed in terms of the assessment of hyperactivity within a conceptual framework which regards impulsivity as a major underlying dimension. (Author/SJL)

Relationships between the McCarthy General Cognitive Index and WISC-R Full Scale IQ with the Wide Range Achievement reading scores were explored with a sample of 20 educable mentally retarded and 20 learning disabled children, ages six to nine. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedSappington, John T. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
This study measured test-retest reliabilities and interrelationships of four common measures of lateral dominance: dowel balancing, peg placement, grip strength, and conjugate lateral eye movement. Moderate reliabilities for all measures except grip strength were obtained. Subjects' sex may be an important reliability variable. Correlations among…

Peer reviewedMcKelvie, Stuart J.; Huband, Debbie E. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Ninety-two athletes and 93 nonathletes completed the Illinois Competition Questionnaire measuring trait anxiety in competitive sports situations and the Rotter I-E scale measuring locus of control. No differences between groups were found on either test, and scores on the tests did not correlate for either group. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedOrsini, Arturo; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Spatial span (Corsi's block tapping) and verbal span (Wechsler Digits Forward) were measured in 1113 children (ages 4-10) from urban and rural districts of Italy. The urban group performed significantly better on both tests. Sex differences, favoring boys, were found only on the spatial span test. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedPuckett, John R.; Ford, H. Thomas, Jr. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
The Piers-Harris Children's Self-concept Scale was administered to 224 third- and fourth-grade boys, before and after five weeks of participation or nonparticipation in recreation-league team sports. Pretest scores indicated significant differences in favor of participants, while posttest scores showed no significant differences resulting from the…
