Peer reviewedHersher, Leonard – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
The frequency of otitis media among 22 hyperactive children (ages 7-to-13 years) with learning disorders was compared with the frequency of otitis media in a sample of 772 normal matched-age children. (Author/PHR)

Peer reviewedServello, Michael B. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Examination of vestibular-based functions and their relationship to behavior problems of 101 kindergarten through fourth grade children enrolled in special education and regular classes found low to moderate significant correlations between vestibular system dysfunction and behavior problems of subjects. (Author/PN)

Peer reviewedOttenbacher, Kenneth – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
The study examined the prevalence and characteristics of hyperactive behaviors in a sample of 64 learning disabled and 12 minimal brain-damaged children (mean age 81 months). Ss were evaluated by their teachers on 11 categories of behavior. (Author/PHR)

Peer reviewedConners, C. Keith; Delamater, Alan – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Two studies of a visual-motor tracking task purported to effectively discriminate subtypes of minimal brain dysfunction are presented. Subjects were psychiatric inpatients, hyperactive males, and normal controls. The tracking task was found to be a useful measure of stimulant drug action but not of specific hyperkinetic defects.

Peer reviewedBrumback, Roger A.; Staton, R. Dennis – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Three conditions of behavioral disturbances and impaired school performance (learning disability, attentional disorder, and childhood major depression) are suggested as being associated with dysfunction of the right cerebral hemisphere. (Author/PN)

Peer reviewedTamkin, Arthur S.; Kunce, Joseph T. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Replicating previous findings that the inability to "shift" conceptual attitude on the Weigl is consistent with indices associated with cortical dysfunction, the Weigl is shown to possibly serve as a nonverbal instrument to assess cortical dysfunction where inability to "shift" appears to tap a dysfunction in symbolic rather…

Peer reviewedStaton, R. Dennis; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Describes the results of detailed neuropsychological testing done before and during drug-induced remission of depressive illness in 11 children (ages 6-13 years), demonstrating significant improvement in cognitive function, especially that of the right hemisphere and frontal lobes. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedPutnam, Lillian R. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
The Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic Test (MPDT) classifies remedial readers into three groups: primary, secondary, organic. This study of subjects aged 7-22 sought to determine if a significant negative relationship existed between (MPDT) scores and reading achievement and if error patterns differ significantly within and between the…
