Does Item Content (Semantic vs Figural) Affect Reversal Errors Made by Black and White First Graders?

Kaufman, Nadeen L.; Kaufman, Alan S.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v50 n3 pt1 p993-94 Jun 1980

Examination of reversal errors made by 203 Black and 198 White normal first graders indicated that reversals on items with semantic content correlated very highly with reversals on items with figural content. Each type of reversal item was equally effective as a predictor of end-of-first-grade reading achievement. (Author/SJL)
