Research has illuminated contributions--usually modeled separately--of both executive functioning (EF) and visuomotor integration (VMI) to mathematical development in early elementary school. This study examined simultaneous associations of EF and VMI, measured at the beginning of the school year, with concurrent and later mathematics performance…

Although fluency and automaticity of handwriting have been recognized as important research topics for 30 years, empirical data on respective developmental courses among typically developing children as well as clinical samples have remained very limited. To fill this gap, this study investigates the development of handwriting automaticity…

The immersive method is a new concept of visual education that is better suited to the needs of students in contemporary post-industrial society. The features of the immersive method are: (1) it emerges from interaction with visual culture; (2) it encourages understanding of contemporary art (as an integral part of visual culture); and (3) it…

These proceedings contain the papers of the 16th International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA 2019), held during November 7-9, 2019, which has been organized by the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) and co-organised by University Degli Studi di Cagliari, Italy.…

Compared the ability of poor and good readers in the second grade to make same-different matches of visual, auditory, and visual-auditory stimuli. (JMB)

The study involving 64 primary grade children examined identification of stimuli on three picture articulation tests--Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation, the Photo Articulation Test, and the Templin-Darley Tests of Articulation. Significant differences between tests and between age groups appeared. (Author/SB)

Using 60 subjects, aged five to eight, this study assessed the magnitude of relation between deaf children's perceptual motor development, measured by the Developmental Test of Visual Perception, and their language development. The relationship was positive and significant, but the value too small to indicate reliable association for individuals.…

Tested the hypothesis that reflective children would be more field-dependent and more internal than their impulsive counterparts. Subjects were first- and third-grade black children. (Author/SDH)

Concludes that a teacher is one who creates circumstances that will result in students' learning and is able to adapt to individual variations among students. (RB)

Compared three tests of visual-motor integration: The Revised Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI-R), the Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI), and the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test (BG). Results showed significantly higher BG age equivalent scores. Highly significant correlations were found among all variables. (WAS)

The study investigated whether children assigned to classes for severe oral language handicaps in California by a multidisciplinary diagnostic team exhibit a characteristic Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities performance profile or a number of distinct profiles. (Author)
