A STUDY WAS CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE WHETHER PEOPLE CAN CHANGE THEIR PERCEPTUAL PROCESSING STRATEGIES TO INCLUDE TESTS FOR THE PRESENCE OF ONLY THOSE STIMULUS FEATURES NECESSARY FOR THE TASK AT HAND. LEARNING DURING PRACTICE AND THE EFFECT OF AGE ON THE ABILITY TO USE OPTIMAL STRATEGIES WERE INVESTIGATED. A DISJUNCTIVE REACTION TIME PROCEDURE WAS…

Ansara, Alice – 1969
The effects of maturational lag and innate perceptual-motor language learning disabilities on primary-grade children's school performance are discussed. Early identification of these learning disabilities is emphasized. A pilot study using 280 second- and third-grade children is described in which the feasibility of whole classroom screening to…

Concomitant Effects of Visual, Motor, and Verbal Experiences in Young Children's Concept Development
Peer reviewedNelson, Gordon K. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1976
Experimental conditions consisting of visual experience, visual plus motor training, visual plus verbal-orienting instruction, visual plus motor plus verbal, and a control group were used to study young children's concept development. Assessment was based on discriminating and remembering positive concept instances and classifying concept…
