Ek, Ulla; Fellenius, Kerstin; Jacobson, Lena – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2003
During a longitudinal in-depth study of the reading acquisition and cognitive and visual development of four children with cerebral visual impairment, the children's visual acuity improved, but their full-scale IQs declined, mostly because of difficulties in abstract thinking, visual cognitive organization, and extremely low processing speed. The…
