Peer reviewedLaGrow, S. J.; Leung, J-P.; Leung, S.; Yeung, P. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 1998
This study compared effects of four visual conditions of stimuli and light on the visual performance of 30 children with low vision (divided into high, and low, visual-acuity groups). Orange stimuli viewed under black light resulted in the best overall performance, benefitted the low-acuity group more than the high-acuity group, and was the…

Carter, Dave – B. C. Journal of Special Education, 1990
Elementary-aged students (n=106) who had been referred for evaluation as possibly mildly/educably mentally handicapped were administered audiometric and visual acuity tests. Discriminant function analysis found no relationship between test results and classification/placement as mildly handicapped. Alternate testing procedures are recommended for…
