Vernon, Magdalen D. – Harvard Educational Review, 1977
Synthesizing a diverse group of studies, author argues that reading disability is not a unitary phenomenon but can result from deficiencies in different psychological processes. Based on the points at which an individual's reading breaks down, she presents a fourfold classifications scheme capable of categorizing all poor readers. (Editor/RK)

Wood, Nancy E. – Academic Therapy, 1977
A study involving 8 children (mean age 9.3 years; seven Ss with possible visual-perceptual disability) was conducted to determine if directed art activities could increase visual perception as measured by the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception. (SBH)

Rose, Susan A. – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Determines whether early hemispheric differences exist in tactual processing by testing infants and preschoolers on six cross-modal tasks. Results are the first to demonstrate a left-hand superiority for information processing in children as young as two years. (Author/AS)

Vande Voort, Lewis; And Others – Child Development, 1972
The results fail to support the hypothesis that intersensory integration is the sole or even the primary developmental skill accounting for matching task improvement with increasing age. The hypothesis that retarded readers fail to develop skills in intersensory integration is also not supported. (Authors)

Kershner, John R. – Journal of Social Psychology, 1972
A study comparing Chicano and Anglo children in spatial and language abilities showed that Chicanos were better in spatial ability and poorer in language comprehension. The findings were interpretated as demonstrating ethnic group differences in information processing strategies and the polarity of verbal and spatial skills in some children. (JB)
