Van Der Wel, Robrecht P. R. D.; Eder, Jeffrey R.; Mitchel, Aaron D.; Walsh, Matthew M.; Rosenbaum, David A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
M. J. Spivey, M. Grosjean, and G. Knoblich (2005) showed that in a phonological competitor task, participants' mouse cursor movements showed more curvature toward the competitor item when the competitor and target were phonologically similar than when the competitor and target were phonologically dissimilar.

The Questionable Value of Perceptual Tests in Diagnosing Reading Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Olson, Arthur V. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1980
Discusses two frequently recommended tests for the evaluation of visual perception in relation to reading ability: the Frostig Development Test of Visual Perception and the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test. Questions the content validity of the former and suggests that the latter is a reasonable predictor of reading achievement. (FL)

Assessment of Dysarthric Speech: A Case for a Combined Perceptual and Physiological Approach.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Theodoros, Deborah; Murdoch, Bruce; Horton, Sue – Language Testing, 1999
Highlights the importance of a combined approach to the assessment of dysarthria with reference to two case studies of individuals with dysarthric speech: a 32-year-old adult who suffered a severe closed head injury and a 9-year-old child who experienced a cerebrovascular accident involving the basilar artery.

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Learning Disability Quarterly, 1986
The position statement of the Council for Learning Disabilities' Board of Trustees opposes the measurement and training of perceptual and perceptual-motor functions as a part of learning disability services and recommends instead that assessment and remediation focus on the primary disorders of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, and…
