Visual Imagery Skills and Language Abilities of Normal and Language-Learning-Disabled Children.

Whitmire, Beverly M.; Stone, C. Addison

Learning Disability Quarterly, v14 n1 p49-59 Win 1991

The study, with 15 language-learning-disabled and 15 normally achieving children (ages 6-8), found a significant positive correlation between the severity of the language disability and accuracy on 2 of 3 imagery tasks. Performance on one imagery task was significantly related to reading achievement, and imagery ability was related more strongly to semantics than to syntax. (DB)
