Olson Meredith B. – Gifted Child Quarterly, 1978
The relationship of visual field to brain function is examined in research, and the correlation of gifted students' use of visual field of Piagetian theories of formal logical thought is analyzed. (C L)

McIntyre, Curtis W.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1981
To test the suggestion that a deficit in selective attention is characteristic of learning disabled (LD) but not hyperactive (H) children, 72 students (12 LDH, 12 H, and 36 normal Ss) were timed on visual search tasks. (Author)

Silverman, Wayne – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1975
When stimuli differed on two dimensions (size and shape), either of which furnished enough information for a correct response, eight educable retarded adults were faster to discriminate than when stimuli differed only on dimension. (Author)

Golden, Emanuel – 1975
Compared was the visual memory of 18 deaf and 18 normal hearing children (7- to 12-years-old). Ss' visual discrimination and visual memory were tested with filmstrip materials from Project LIFE (Language Improvement to Facilitate Education). Time scores and error scores were used to measure the performances of both groups. Results showing that…

Guttentag, Robert E. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
Twenty-two third-grade good and poor readers were tested for their ability to name pictures while trying to ignore words or nonword strings of letters printed inside the pictures. Both groups experienced more interference from intracategory than extracategory words, indicating that they processed the words automatically. Only the good readers…

Bjorklund, David F.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
Thirty-nine fourth grade children exposed to a haptic (active touch) match-to-sample task made significantly fewer post-test errors, relative to control subjects, on a visual problem-soving task. (Author/PHR)
