It is proposed that in the process of letter perception a preliminary nonverbal code is available in the right hemisphere until superceded by a verbal code in the left hemisphere. (Editor)

Article discussed two experiments in which the subjects recalled a trigram stimulus after copying a string of random consonants, using either the preferred or non-preferred hand and, as well, measured the latency of solving a simple mental arithmetic task under each of the two writing conditions.

Data suggests that perceptual processing in the language-appropriate direction is an established skill by the time a child finishes second grade. (Author)

The present experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of type of similarity during a matching process for visually presented stimuli with obvious auditory properties (letters of the alphabet). (Author)

The present study is an extension of Conrad's work on short-term memory with the emphasis on the kinds of confusions the deaf make in recalling visually presented letters and how they differ from those made by hearing Ss. (Author/RK)

Forty kindergarten children were randomly assigned to four conditions to investigate the influence of criterion level on the discrimination of highly confusable letters in beginning reading. Half the subjects were exposed to simultaneous, and half to successive discriminations. The groups were equally divided as to criterion level, i.e., four vs.…

This study was designed to investigate the interacting effects of dimensional pre-training and set size on acquisition of a multiple discrimination involving letters of the alphabet. (Author)

A study investigated the development of information processing as it relates to the development of reading skills by studying how good readers and poor readers utilized orthographic information. Subjects, 90 good and poor readers from grades 2, 4, and 6, participated in four 30-minute sessions in which they were required to make a same/different…
