FAUSTMAN, MARION NEAL – 1967
A STUDY OF KINDERGARTEN PERCEPTION WAS MADE TO DETERMINE IF A FORMAL PROGRAM IN PERCEPTION IN KINDERGARTEN WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE GROWTH OF PERCEPTION IN CHILDREN AT THE END OF THE KINDERGARTEN YEAR AND TO SUCCESS AT THE FIRST-GRADE LEVEL. FOURTEEN KINDERGARTEN CLASSES WERE CHOSEN AT RANDOM FOR A CONTROL GROUP, AND 14 CLASSES WERE CHOSEN AT…

McConkie, George W.; Hogaboam, Thomas W. – 1985
To investigate the relationship between the location of the words being read and the location of the eyes in the text, three experiments were conducted using the Disappearing Text Technique with college students. This was done by occasionally removing the text during reading and having the reader report the last word that had been read.…

Results of an investigation of the effects of perceptual training upon selected measures of reading achievement are reported. Subjects were 87 second-grade children of average intelligence who had evidenced reading difficulties as well as perceptual deficits. They were chosen from the Glen Cove, New York, school district on the basis of their…

Kaye, D. B.; And Others – 1980
To determine the developmental level at which letter processing skills become automatic, an experiment was conducted using a variant of the visual search task. Subjects in grades one, two, and three and in college searched for target letters displayed on a cathode ray tube along with either visually confusable letters, acoustically confusable…

Peer reviewedMiller, Leon K. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1981
This study was designed to provide evidence concerning hemispheric independence in the visual modality of children and adults. Words and letters were shown either singly or in pairs. Hemispheric independence occurred more frequently among children when letters, as opposed to words, were shown. Results are discussed in terms of developmental models…

Fortenberry, Warren D. – 1969
Determination of the effectiveness of visual perceptual training upon word recognition and subsequent reading achievement of the culturally disadvantaged first grader was this study's goal. Forty-eight pupils in two sections of the first grade of an elementary school in Louisiana tested the hypotheses that no difference would be revealed in the…

MURPHY, HELEN A. – 1965
THE PROBLEMS EXAMINED IN THIS STUDY WERE (1) THE RELATIONSHIP OF PERCEPTION OF WORD ELEMENTS TO SIGHT VOCABULARY GROWTH, (2) THE EFFECT OF EARLY TEACHING OF A SPEECH-BASED PHONICS PROGRAM ON READING ACHIEVEMENT, AND (3) THE VALUE OF WRITING EMPHASIS IN THE SPEECH-BASED PHONICS PROGRAM. THREE READING PROGRAMS WERE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY, EACH USED…

Murray, Beulah B. – 1966
Over 200 children were tested to determine whether, of prospective first grade pupils, the 25% scoring lowest on tests of visual-motor-perceptual development would also be clustered in the lowest third of first grade performance on word recognition skills at the end of the year. Tests given upon entrance were the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test,…
