Measuring Perceptual Skills That Are Related to the Learning Task.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Taylor, Nancy E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
Focusing primarily on learning disabled children, the article briefly reviews the literature related to perceptual skills required in reading acquisition and the validity of current perceptual measures to tap these task-related perceptual abilities, and proposes an informal task-related measure to overcome the drawbacks of more formal measures of…

Convergent-Discriminant Validity of the Jewish Employment and Vocational Service System.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tryjankowski, Elaine M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
The study evaluated the construct validity of five perceptual traits with simulated work samples from the Jewish Vocational Service Work Sample System. Results with 36 learning disabled adolescents indicated that simulated work samples can be used as a diagnostic instrument for assessment of perceptual abilities in a vocational setting. (Author/DB)

Prismatic Adaptation and Visuo-Motor Skills in Children with Learning Disabilities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Netley, C. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1973
Two groups of 15 boys (mean age 8 years, mean IQ 100), both presenting difficulties in academic achievement, but one with and one without visuomotor impairments, were assessed to determine whether poor drawing ability was related to perceptual or motor disorders. (Author)

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Friedland, Seymour J.; Meisels, Samuel J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1975

How Adequate is the Concept of Perceptual Deficit for Education?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zach, Lillian; Kaufman, Judith – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1972
