Background: Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a type of brain tumour often situated in or near areas involved in language, sensory or motor functions. Depending on localization and tumour characteristics, language or cognitive impairments due to tumour growth and/or surgical resection are obvious risks. One task that may be at risk is writing, both…

This study investigated the association of timed visual processing tasks varying in levels of phonological processing with word reading. We tested 293 Chinese children on Cross Out, Visual Matching, rapid automatized naming (RAN), and Chinese character recognition across three to five years. Children's character recognition at ages 6 and 7…

One of the major steps in the project entitled "A Structure of Concept Attainment Abilities" is to identify reference tests for cognitive abilities. A part of this task involved the construction of some of these types of tests for use with fourth and fifth grade students. This paper presents 35 tests that were constructed or adapted for inclusion…

Third grade students were identified as either fast/accurate or slow/accurate in response style on the Matching Familiar Figures Tests and Thurstone's Spatial Relations Test. The fast and slow students performed similarly on untimed tasks, as predicted. Contrary to expectations, they also scored similarly on timed tests. (Author/RD)

This study compared the performance on speed tests in depressed and nondepressed, nonschizophrenic, nonorganic psychiatric patients. The groups were matched for general psychopathology, sex, age, and education. The findings are discussed in relation to the literature. (Author/KC)

Three experiments focused on the function relating children's response time to adults' response time in corresponding conditions. In all experiments, children's response times increased in a linear manner as a function of adults' response times. (BB)

Norms are tabulated for the Bender Gestalt Test, based on a group of 62 male and 73 female junior high school students in Utah. These norms are designed to fill a gap in norms which now range from 3 years through adult. The students in this group were aged 12 through 14. Standard Bender Gestalt cards were used. The tests were administered…

This study examined the relationship between scores on "speeded" cognitive and academic tests and the need for the accommodation of extended test time for normally achieving students (NA) and students with learning disabilities (LD). Often, in postsecondary settings the decision to provide the accommodation of extended test time is based…
