Perception and Interpretation of Nonverbally Expressed Emotions by Adolescents with Learning Disabilities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wiig, Elisabeth H.; Harris, Shirley P. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1974
Concluded that adolescents with learning disabilities exhibited quantitative and qualitative reductions in the recognition of affective cues which related to visual-motor organization. (RB)

Imitation Preference as a Function of Motor Competence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Majeres, Raymond L.; Timmer, Therese – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Sixty children, ages 2-4, observed videotaped, same-sex models perform sequences of skills requiring different levels of motor development. When asked to imitate one act from each sequence, children tended to imitate skills at their own developmental level rather than skills above or below their current level of competence. (Author/SJL)

Education of Selected Movement Patterns of Preschool Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Werner, Peter – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1974
Concludes that guided instruction in psychomotor skills at the nursery school level leads to significant improvements in motor patterns for boys and girls. (RB)

Rating Preschool Development of Name-Writing and Draw-a-Person.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stanley, Gordon; Pershin, Peter – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
In order to examine the relationship between name writing and the drawing of a person, samples of both were collected from 112 preschool children (23-63 months old). (PNR)

Use of the Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test for Disability Evaluation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gloss, David S.; Wardle, Miriam Gayle – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Validation of the Minnesota Rate of Manipulation Test in assessing permanent hand disability was determined using 118 persons with permanent impairments. Four subtests were given. Scores for the impaired hand on each subtest were strongly correlated with the rating of disability on a traditional American Medical Association measure. (Author/CM)

Neuropsychological Effects of Abuse of Inhalants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Korman, Maurice; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Analyses of 109 drug-abusing adolescents indicated that inhalant abusers performed significantly more poorly than polydrug abusers on 20 of 67 neuropsychological measures. Deficits were observed on both global (WAIS and WRAT) and specific measures (perception of speech sounds, visual suppression, sensory perception, and trails). (Author/SJL)

Characteristics of Upper Limb Movements in a Sample of Menigomyelocele Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brunt, Denis – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Examined the movement characteristics of 41 meningomyelocele children through administration of 13 items from the Southern California Sensory Integration Test. Three factors of movement ability emerged: one describing a pattern representing both constructional and gestural apraxia; the second indicative of bilateral coordination; and the third…

Structure of Motor Abilities in Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Krus, Patricia H.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
The purpose of this study was to investigate the structure of motor proficiency in a sample of 765 children between the ages of 4 1/2 to 14 1/2 years. The study was conducted as one aspect of the standardization of a motor proficiency scale, the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. (Author/SJL)

Relationships Among Perceptual-Motor, Self-Concept, and Academic Measures for Children in Kindergarten, Grades One and Two
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cobb, Patrick R.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1975
Descriptors: Academic Achievement, Cognitive Processes, Educational Research, Primary Education
Performance of Retarded and Normal Readers on a Visual-Auditory Learning Task with and without Reinforcers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lyle, J. G.; Goyen, Judith D. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1974
Concluded that learning experiments which compare educationally retarded and achieving groups should pay particular attention to treatment variables. (RB)

Motor Development of Autistic Monozygotic Twins: A Case Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Geddes, Dolores – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977
A pair of autistic monozygotic twins (3 1/2 years old) were assessed on relevant portions of the Geddes Psychomotor Inventory. (Author)

Perceptual, Motor, Memory, and Quantitative Elements of Language Behavior: Differences Between 3- and 4-Year-Old Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McLoughlin, Caven S.; Gullo, Dominic F. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
To examine language performance and its subskills, the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities were administered to 30 three- and four-year-old children. The contradictory findings of verbal performance examined by age suggests that component skills contributing to verbal language behavior may vary significantly with age in the preschool years.…

Schema Theory: An Application to Integration of Fine and Gross Motor Skills of Young Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Miller, Susan E.; Krantz, Murray – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
This study tested the extension of Schmidt's schema theory to the relationship between fine and gross motor skills. Fifty-two preschoolers were tested on 10 isomorphically related pairs of fine and gross motor tasks. When age was partialled out, results showed significant covariation among 6 of the 10 task pairs.
