Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sun, Peijian Paul; Teng, Lin Sophie – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
This study revisited Reid's (1987) perceptual learning style preference questionnaire (PLSPQ) in an attempt to answer whether the PLSPQ fits in the Chinese-as-a-second-language (CSL) context. If not, what are CSL learners' learning styles drawing on the PLSPQ? The PLSPQ was first re-examined through reliability analysis and confirmatory factor…

Tactile Assessment in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Clinimetric Review
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Auld, Megan Louise; Boyd, Roslyn Nancy; Moseley, G. Lorimer; Johnston, Leanne Marie – Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics, 2011
This review evaluates the clinimetric properties of tactile assessments for children with cerebral palsy. Assessment of registration was reported using Semmes Weinstein Monofilaments (SWMs) or exteroception. Assessment of two-point discrimination was reported using the Disk-Criminator[R] or paperclip methods; Single point localization and double…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
O'Brien, Justin; Tsermentseli, Stella; Cummins, Omar; Happe, Francesca; Heaton, Pamela; Spencer, Janine – Early Child Development and Care, 2009
In this article, we examine the extent to which children with autism and children with learning difficulties can be discriminated from their responses to different patterns of sensory stimuli. Using an adapted version of the Short Sensory Profile (SSP), sensory processing was compared in 34 children with autism to 33 children with typical…

Tactile Functions in Learning-Disabled and Normal Children: Reliability and Validity Considerations and Commentary and Response.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kinnealey, Moya; Royeen, Charlotte Brasic – Occupational Therapy Journal of Research, 1989
Kinnealey reports on a study comparing tactile functions of 30 learning-disabled and 30 normal eight-year-olds as measured by the Southern California Sensory Integration Tests and the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery. Reliability and validity of the two measures were examined. Results showed a significant difference between the tactile…

A Test of Tactile Concentration and Short-Term Memory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kainthola, S. D.; Singh, T. B. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1992
Twenty students and 45 adults with visual impairments or blindness were administered a test of tactile concentration and short-term memory involving the reproduction of the order of finger stimulation using the Finger Knocking Box. Reliability and validity scores indicated encouraging results with use of the instrument. (JDD)

Newland, T. Ernest – 1969
A Blind Learning Aptitude Test (BLAT) was developed on the basis of sense of touch rather than on conventional experience, fine sensory discrimination, or verbal competency. From a pool of about 350 items, most of them used in testing intelligence in the sighted, a pool of 94 was selected and embossed after the manner of braille. A residual pool…
