Peer reviewedMusatti, Tullia; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Sixty children, prereaders and readers aged 4-6 years, matched color, shape, and letter features in pairs of cartoons. Older children and those able to read performed better, confirming the hypothesis that the development of some visual skills is a by-product of learning to read. (Author/SJL)

Eight men and eight women responded "same" or "different" to pairs of geometric figures. Male subjects showed a left visual-field advantage regardless of the level of processing, whereas female subjects did not show a clear-cut hemispheric asymmetry. Results are discussed in terms of sex differences in processing strategies. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedBross, Michael – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
The experiment compared the visual sensory sensitivity of six deaf and six hearing Ss (mean age 11.2 years) in a signal detection paradigm. Ss were required to give forced-choice responses to a brightness discrimination task under three stimulus probability conditions. (Author/PHR)

Peer reviewedMathes, Sharon; Flatten, Kay – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
To assess the performance characteristics of synthetic and leather basketballs, individuals were asked to discriminate perceptually between the leather and synthetic basketballs under four treatment conditions. Rebound characteristics on five playing surfaces were measured. Leather basketballs rebounded significantly higher; no significant…

Peer reviewedSilverman, Wayne P.; Ulatowski, Paul E. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Two experiments examined the perceptual processing of letters embedded within one- and two-syllable words and visually similar nonwords. Results suggest that (1) the size of compelling perceptual units seems limited, and (2) unit size is not necessarily related to the correspondence between letter order and pronounceability.

Peer reviewedSousley, Sharon A.; Gargiulo, Richard M. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Examined the relationship between cognitive style and reading readiness in 104 kindergarteners before and after a visual discrimination treatment designed to modify conceptual impulsivity. Correlations were also obtained between errors and latencies on the Matching Familiar Figures Test and performance on the Metropolitan Readiness Test. No…

Peer reviewedTaylor, Ellen; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Children's abilities to judge "who is older" without using size as a cue were studied. Five-year-olds were better able to discriminate age than four-year-olds but were not equal to adults. No significant sex differences were found. (Author/RD)

Peer reviewedGreen, Herman G. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
The relationship between latency to respond and performance on the ITPA Visual Association subtest was investigated for 50 preschoolers. Performance was a function of age and response latency. It was concluded that for children who don't have the appropriate search strategy, the visual association subtest doesn't give a valid assessment.…
