The Effects of Stimulus Complexity and Sensory Modality on Reaction Time in Normal and Retarded Readers

Blank, Marion; And Others

Child Development, 46, 1, 133-140, Mar 75

Intra- and crossmodal performance of normal and retarded third-grade readers were compared in a reaction-time task. Results suggest that the demands of stimulus complexity within the visual modality rather than the demands of crossmodal shifting were related to reading ability. (Author/ED)
