Keenan, Verne – 1970
After tachistoscopic exposure of a row of letters, recall functions show bowing and skewedness similar to the standard serial position curve that results from sequential presentation of elements. A similar curve is generated by recall of binary elements presented briefly and simultaneously. Prior investigators have interpreted this effect as an…

Krippner, Stanley – 1969
Developmental and post-traumatic dyslexia are discussed in terms of a dysfunction of the central nervous system resulting in reading disabilities. The relationship of reading to other language functions is considered, with emphasis on the temporal aspects of speech and reading. An interdisciplinary approach is held necessary for the diagnosis of…

Hoopes, Amy T. – 1973
Research into visual, perceptual, and motor coordination suggests that the kind of physical activity and coordination involved in swimming might prevent some cases of dyslexia and improve the academic performance of many learning disabled children. Early neurological development shows a relationship among the creeping period, later communication…

Galaburda, Albert M.; And Others – Science, 1978
Reports on structural asymmetrics between the hemispheres which are found in the human brain. Auditory region and Sylvian Fissure asymmetry have also been observed in the fetus and in other primates. Describes research which has correlated asymmetries with hand preference, certain childhood learning disabilities and some dementing illnesses of…

Evans, James R.; Stroebel, Sandra – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1986
Past research has suggested memory, writing speed, and paired-associate learning rate to be important in WISC-R (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Revised) coding performance. Suggested that visual perceptual factors also may be important and that coding performance in right-handed persons may be especially sensitive to integrity of the…

Hines, Melissa; Shipley, Carl – Developmental Psychology, 1984
Investigates the relationship between the perinatal hormonal environment and the development of cognitive sex differences. Compares 25 upper class women aged 14 to 24 who were exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol (DES) and their unexposed sisters. Subjects show a more masculine pattern of lateralization than their sisters but are similar in…

Coren, Stanley; Porac, Clare – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Lateral preferences as manifest in handedness, footedness, eyedness, and earedness were assessed in college students. Consistent right-handedness was most prevalent in language and literature majors. No relationships between major and other indexes of lateral preference were found. (Author/RD)
