Auditory, Visual, and Multisensory Nonverbal Social Perception in Adolescents with and without Learning Disabilities.

Sisterhen, Daniel H.; Gerber, Paul J.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v22 n4 p245-49,57 Apr 1989

Adolescents with and without learning disabilities (14, 16, and 18 years old) were tested to determine whether they differed in auditory, visual, and/or multisensory social perception abilities. The adolescents with learning disabilities at all age levels were not as adept at understanding nonverbal social information regardless of whether it was visual or multisensory in nature.
