An Analysis of Vision-Based Subtests' Impact on Subtest Scores of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children on Students with Cortical/Cerebral Visual Impairment
Direct linkDirect link
Emily Cantillon – ProQuest LLC, 2024
It has been widely recognized that a visual impairment can limit an individual's ability to learn through visual observations. This decreased limited visual access which could impact how the skills to access and recognize the world around them develop. However, when the visual impairment was brain-based, such as in Cortical/Cerebral Visual…

Content-Rich versus Content Deficient Video-Based Visuals in L2 Academic Listening Tests: Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lesnov, Roman Olegovich – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2018
This article compares second language test-takers' performance on an academic listening test in an audio-only mode versus an audio-video mode. A new method of classifying video-based visuals was developed and piloted, which used L2 expert opinions to place the video on a continuum from being content-deficient (not helpful for answering…

Lateralized Temporal Order Judgement in Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liddle, Elizabeth B.; Jackson, Georgina M.; Rorden, Chris; Jackson, Stephen R. – Neuropsychologia, 2009
Temporal and spatial attentional deficits in dyslexia were investigated using a lateralized visual temporal order judgment (TOJ) paradigm that allowed both sensitivity to temporal order and spatial attentional bias to be measured. Findings indicate that adult participants with a positive screen for dyslexia were significantly less sensitive to the…

The Effect of Asterisks as an Attention Focusing Device on Test Performance of Undergraduate Students.
Perrin, David W.; Kerasotes, Dean L. – 1979
It was hypothesized that using asterisks as attention focusing devices would cause students to read all asteriked test items more carefully and would improve test scores of undergraduate education students. Sixty-three undergraduates majoring in elementary or special education were administered a 36-item objective test. Asterisks were used to…
