The experiments conducted aimed to investigate whether reduced accuracy when counting stimuli presented in rapid temporal sequence in adults with dyslexia could be explained by a sensory processing deficit, a general slowing in processing speed or difficulties shifting attention between stimuli. To achieve these aims, the influence of the…

The ability to learn temporal patterns in sequenced actions was investigated in elementary-school age children. Temporal learning depends upon a process of integrating timing patterns with action sequences. Children ages 6-13 and young adults performed a serial response time task in which a response and a timing sequence were presented repeatedly…

Matched groups of good and poor readers were administered a task that involved making same-different judgments for various combinations of auditory sequential, visual sequential, and visual spatial patterns. (Author)

Nine children participated in one of three groups: children diagnosed as both sensory and language impaired, children diagnosed as language impaired, and normally developing children matched for language level. Sensory integration activities prior to language intervention resulted in significant changes on the Battelle Developmental Inventory for…

The collection of eight conference papers on problems of auditory, visual, and speech handicaps begins with a review of what is known about deaf-blind children and early development. Following papers are devoted to spontaneous vocalization and babbling in aurally handicapped infants, psychological synergism (an approach to consideration of…
