Geometric Figure-Rotation Task and Face Representation in Dyslexia: Role of Spatial Relations and Orientation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pontius, Anneliese A. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Compared to normal readers, the dyslexic children not only drew significantly more "neolithic faces" but also made more errors of spatial displacement (up/down or right/left) on parts of asymmetric figures, while among both groups there were similar percentages who made no errors in the global rotation of figures.

Does the Distribution of Fixation Times Refer to the Underlying Process of Information Input?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cohen, A. S.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Two experiments were conducted to assess whether the distribution of fixation times might be related to the prevailing cognitive activity involved with two different tasks, i.e., driving and observing colored fields. The results suggest that the distribution of fixation times can be associated with the prevailing cognitive activity while viewing.…

The Axis Feature: Illusionary Effects on Children's Judgments of Length.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Scher, Anat – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Forty five-year-olds compared two arms of an L-shaped figure on-axis or perpendicular to axis inside circles of different diameters. In making perceptual judgments about the relative length, the children tended to describe the on-axis line as longer. The context model of visual anomalies was supported. (Author/CM)

Developmental Differences in Bender-Gestalt Recall of Children With Learning and Behavior Problems.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Finch, A. J., Jr.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983
Children referred for psychological evaluations of completed the Bender-Gestalt and then reproduced designs from memory. Numbers of designs recalled increased with age and Performance Intelligence Quotient. The importance of developmental level in evaluation and establishment of cut-off recall scores for designs were discussed. (Author/RD)

Comparison of Educationally Handicapped Students' Scores on the Revised Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration and Bender-Gestalt.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Breen, Michael J. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Elementary school boys in a program for the emotionally disturbed were administered the Revised Beery and Bender-Gestalt. A significant correlation of .73 between age-equivalent scores was obtained. Although mean scores did not differ significantly from one another, scores were quite varied. The implications of such variability are discussed.…
