The Broader Autism Phenotype and Visual Perception in Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sabatino DiCriscio, Antoinette; Troiani, Vanessa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Atypical visual perception has increasingly been described in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and linked to quantitative, autism-like features that are present in children and adults without ASD. We investigated whether individual differences in visual processing skills were related to quantitative measures of autism traits in a…

Spatial Mental Representations Derived from Survey and Route Descriptions: When Individuals Prefer Extrinsic Frame of Reference
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Meneghetti, Chiara; Pazzaglia, Francesca; De Beni, Rossana – Learning and Individual Differences, 2011
The present research investigates the role of individual differences in preference for adopting extrinsic frame of reference (EFR) in ability to represent mentally spatial information learned through survey and route descriptions. A sample of 191 participants (100 females and 91 males) was categorized as four groups with high (H-EFR), medium-high…

Measuring the Interrelations among Multiple Paradigms of Visual Attention: An Individual Differences Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Huang, Liqiang; Mo, Lei; Li, Ying – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
A large part of the empirical research in the field of visual attention has focused on various concrete paradigms. However, as yet, there has been no clear demonstration of whether or not these paradigms are indeed measuring the same underlying construct. We collected a very large data set (nearly 1.3 million trials) to address this question. We…

Power and Speed Components of Individual Differences in Letter Matching.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schwartz, Steven; And Others – Intelligence, 1983
A correlation exists between verbal ability test scores and name identity minus physical identity reaction times in a letter matching task. The present results support Carroll's (1981) suggestion that the reaction time difference is related more to speed than power component of standardized tests and is not optimum for prediction.

The Display of Color Graphics on Monochrome Monitors: A Concern for Designers and an Opportunity for Researchers.
Baker, Patti R.; And Others – 1986
A study was conducted to investigate the comprehensibility of microcomputer-generated color graphics that are displayed on monochromatic monitors. Subjects were 64 second, third, and fourth graders who were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. Children in the first treatment were asked to identify, on a monochrome monitor, a figure that was…

Perceptual Units Training for Improving Word Analysis Skills. Technical Report No. 1.
Weaver, Phyllis A.; And Others – 1982
A training program was devised to develop automaticity of one subcomponent of reading--locating and disembedding multiletter units within words. The system involved the use of a training task that was implemented in a microcomputer-based game that required students to detect whether a target unit was presented within words that were shown in rapid…
