Maljaars, J. P. W.; Noens, I. L. J.; Scholte, E. M.; Verpoorten, R. A. W.; van Berckelaer-Onnes, I. A. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2011
Background: The ComFor study has indicated that individuals with intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show enhanced visual local processing compared with individuals with ID only. Items of the ComFor with meaningless materials provided the best discrimination between the two samples. These results can be explained by the…

Forster, Jens – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2009
Nine studies showed a bidirectional link (a) between a global processing style and generation of similarities and (b) between a local processing style and generation of dissimilarities. In Experiments 1-4, participants were primed with global versus local perception styles and then asked to work on an allegedly unrelated generation task. Across…

Butter, Eliot J. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979
Children were individually administered the Matching Familiar Figures (MFF) Test and the Haptic Matching Task. Impulsives received either reflective scanning strategy training or control procedures and were retested. Visual training decreased errors only on the MFF and increased latency on both tasks. Haptic training decreased errors and increased…

Savarese, Jeanne M.; Miller, R. J. – Studies in Art Education, 1979
The purpose of this study was to provide a task on which subjects could indicate their preferences for linear or painterly art work and to determine if such preferences are related to some traditional measures of cognitive/perceptual style, chosen because they appear to relate to whole/part perception.

Ausburn, Floyd B. – 1979
A U.S. Air Force study was designed to develop instruction based on the supplantation theory, in which tasks are performed (supplanted) for individuals who are unable to perform them due to their cognitive style. The study examined the effects of linear and multiple imagery in presenting a task requiring visual comparison and location to…

Hutchinson, Beck McLaughlin – 1981
The relationship between the perceptual type of adult learners--i.e., visual or haptic--and their performance upon a visual discrimination task was studied to determine if the use of multi-image representations could improve the performance of adults of different perceptual types upon selected visual tasks. Subjects were 135 volunteers from…

Egeland, Byron; And Others – 1976
Thirty-five second-grade learning disabled children participated in a visual information processing training program designed to teach analysis of visual material into component parts, systematic scanning of visual arrays, pick-up, description, and memory storage of distinctive information, and efficient solution of visual match-to-sample…
