Poulomee Datta; Iliana Skrebneva – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2024
This study investigated the self-concept of students with vision impairments who were placed in mainstream and specialist schools in South Australia. Self-Concept was studied across six dimensions, namely Physical, Moral, Personal, Family, Social and Academic Self-Concepts and the Total Self-Concept. The 'Tennessee Self-Concept Scale: Second…

Optometric Disorders in Children and Adults with Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Vikesdal, Gro Horgen; Mon-Williams, Mark; Langaas, Trine – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2020
Optometric disorders are likely to increase the difficulties experienced by an individual who is struggling to read. There are some reports of a higher incidence of visual abnormalities in children with dyslexia, but there has been little investigation into adults. We therefore investigated the optometric status of a population comprising children…

Crocetta, Tânia Brusque; Guarnieri, Regiani; Massetti, Thaís; da Silva, Talita Dias; de Almeida Barbosa, Renata Thaís; Ferreira de Lima Antão, Jennifer Yohanna; de Abreu, Luiz Carlos; Monteiro, Carlos Bandeira de Mello – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
The coincidence-anticipation timing (CAT) task assesses one facet of cognitive and motor performance and is used to understand the human visuo-motor system involved in intercepting the moving object. To assess the test-retest reliability and the concurrent validity in the "Bridge Games" package (Bridge) developed to assess the CAT task,…

Effects of Aging, Word Frequency, and Text Stimulus Quality on Reading across the Adult Lifespan: Evidence from Eye Movements
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Warrington, Kayleigh L.; McGowan, Victoria A.; Paterson, Kevin B.; White, Sarah J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Reductions in stimulus quality may disrupt the reading performance of older adults more when compared with young adults because of sensory declines that begin early in middle age. However, few studies have investigated adult age differences in the effects of stimulus quality on reading, and none have examined how this affects lexical processing…

The Integration of Occlusion and Disparity Information for Judging Depth in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smith, Danielle; Ropar, Danielle; Allen, Harriet A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
In autism spectrum disorder (ASD), atypical integration of visual depth cues may be due to flattened perceptual priors or selective fusion. The current study attempts to disentangle these explanations by psychophysically assessing within-modality integration of ordinal (occlusion) and metric (disparity) depth cues while accounting for sensitivity…

Datta, Poulomee; Talukdar, Joy – International Journal of Inclusive Education, 2016
This study investigated the self-concept of students with vision impairment who were placed in specialist and mainstream educational settings in South Australia. Self-Concept was explored across six dimensions, namely Physical, Moral, Personal, Family, Social and Academic Self-Concepts and the Total Self-Concept. The "Tennessee Self-Concept…
