Relationship of Visual and Auditory Short-Term Memory to Later Reading Achievement.

Ashmore, Robert J.; Snyder, Robert T.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v51 n1 p15-18 Aug 1980

This paper presents evidence that the Snyder/Pope Visual Memory Technique using the Bender-Gestalt Test is a useful predictor of reading ability for first-grade children. Short-term visual recall appears highly related to the Grade 1 reading task and should be assessed when children begin learning to read. (Author/SJL)
