Speed of Information Processing in Children Referred for Learning Problems: Performance on a Visual Filtering Test.
Weiler, Michael D.; Harris, Naomi S.; Marcus, David J.; Bellinger, David; Kosslyn, Stephen M.; Waber, Deborah P.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v33 n6 p538-50 Nov-Dec 2000
Children referred for evaluation of learning impairment (n=100) and 243 typical children were evaluated on a visual filtering task. With each additional processing demand, response times increased disproportionately for children with learning impairments. Overall response time predicted academic skills and cognitive ability, but was more strongly related to membership in the two groups. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
