Lateral Response to Suggestion in Relation to Handedness.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fleminger, J. J.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
Lateralization of response to the suggestion of a sensation was recorded in 100 psychiatric patients (16-60 years old) and related to their handedness. (Author)

Effect of Verbal and Nonverbal Short-Term Memory Coding with Normal and Retarded Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Swanson, Lee – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977
The study involving 20 retarded and 20 control children (all 10 to 13 years old) was conducted to determine the extent to which short-term memory of three-dimensional stimuli is dependent upon a verbal process for both normal and retarded children. (SBH)

Development of Selective Auditory Attention Skills in Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cherry, Rochelle Silberzweig – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Fifty-three children (ages 5-9) were individually tested on their ability to select pictures of monosyllabic words presented diotically via headphones. Tasks were presented in quiet and under three noise (distractor) conditions: white noise, speech backwards, and speech forward. Age and type of distractor significantly influenced test scores.…

Development of Articulatory Competence in Mentally Retarded Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fitzgerald, Hiram E.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1979
The effects of a parent administered home therapy program of verbal stimulation used to treat articulatory deficits were investigated with 32 inarticulate elementary school age retarded children in Yugoslavia. Treatment was found to be associated with an increase in articulatory competence in both moderately and profoundly retarded Ss. (Author/DLS)

Children's Production on Verbal and Non-Verbal Fluency Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Regard, Marianne; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Children aged 6 to 13 years were given verbal and nonverbal fluency tasks and block design subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. Results, providing normative data, showed that fluency tasks are age-, but not sex-dependent, and are modestly correlated to one another. (Author/CM)

Comparison of Sign versus Verbal Symbol Training in Retarded Adults.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Penner, Kandace A.; Williams, William N. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
The relationship between sign and verbal learning was explored using 10 severely mentally retarded adults. They were taught color labels in sign, verbal, or sign and verbal groups. Sign labels tended to be learned more efficiently; combined sign and verbal training improved verbal learning but not sign learning. (Author/CM)

Immediate and Long-Term Retention For Pictorial and Verbal Stimuli.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Purdy, Jesse E.; Luepnitz, Roy R. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Sixty-four subjects were presented pictures and later asked to draw them or provide one-word descriptions to test the hypothesis that decreased retention effectiveness occurs because images stored in long-term memory are accessible only through their verbal labels. Recall of pictures was significantly greater than recall of words. (Author/PN)

Effects of Verbal and Written Labeling on Selective Attention of Mildly Retarded Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McLeskey, James – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
The influence of verbal and written labels on selective attention to visual materials was examined with retarded children. Under treatment conditions, retarded and normal children located an object more quickly, looked at it longer, and recognized more objects on a recognition-memory task. These results may be applied to materials development.…
