Preferential Looking: Reliable Acuity Assessment for Children with Low Vision.

Schanel-Klitsch, E.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v86 n1 p71-72 Jan 1992

The visual acuity of 8 children, aged 2-7, with low vision and multiple handicaps was effectively tested using the Teller Acuity Cards and a preferential-looking procedure with operant modification. This inexpensive procedure was found to be suitable for at-home testing by itinerant vision specialists in developing countries or rural areas. (DB)
