Peer reviewedKarr, Sharon K. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
The quality of the Bender-Gestalt performance of normal class-six children in four Sierra Leone subcultures with varying degrees of modernization showed the quality of the reproductions of the most modern subcultures to be significantly higher. The interaction of gender and the parallel to adult divisions of labor are discussed. (Author/CM)

Peer reviewedTimmons, Beverly A. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Research has linked delayed auditory feedback and stuttering to several physiological factors. A review of familial relationship, age, sex, stress, speech characteristics, and sound conduction is presented. A brief integration of the factors and directions for research is presented. (Author/PN)

Peer reviewedLoo, Robert – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
The structure of the Group Embedded-Figures Test was examined. Data from 173 females and 93 males were subjected to Johnson's complete-linkage cluster analysis and principal components analysis. The results showed the importance of simple form type, especially Form E, the cube, and of item position. (Author/RD)

Peer reviewedFischer, Donald G.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
EEG correlates of intellectual functioning in academically handicapped and talented adolescents were investigated. Data from Ertl's Brainwave Analyzer were factor analyzed and used to predict verbal, numerical, reasoning, and spatial abilities and reading and mathematics achievement. Correlational patterns differed by group. Implications for…

Peer reviewedSagi, Abraham – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
Findings of this Israeli study suggest that perception is affected by lables, learning, and selective attention; that these effects are determined developmentally; and that as age increases, the effects of verbal cues diminish, while the effects of perceptual cues increase. (Author/DLS)

Peer reviewedGow, Lyn; Ward, James – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Using the Matching Familiar Figures Test and the Porteus Maze Tests with characteristic modifications, the feasibility of using measures of cognitive tempo were examined. The measures' contributions in predicting the work performance of institutionalized moderately-severely retarded subjects were no greater than conventional individual…

Peer reviewedMacKay, D. N.; Bankhead, I. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983
Groups of mentally retarded subjects matched for sex, chronological age, mental age, and length of institutionalization were observed on three reaction time tasks for which pre-response complexity varied. Down's Syndrome subjects did not differ from epileptic and undifferentiated retarded subjects in reaction time performance on any of the tasks.…
