Elementary School Children

Quality of life (QOL) factors have become an area of emphasis for health care and particularly for optometry. The College of Optometrists in Vision Development designed a 30-item checklist (COVDQOL-30). This was later reduced to 19 items (COVD-QOL-19). The two instruments have been shown to have good testretest reliabilities and both have been demonstrated to have validity. The reliability of b...

Elementary School Children’s Understanding of Experimental Error

Understanding data variability and potential error sources is essential to a full understanding of experimental science. We propose a typology of error that considers not only the nature of the error, but also the phase in the experiment in which it occurs. We looked at secondand fourth-grade children’s understanding of error, their use of evidence in guiding this understanding, and the role of...

Haptic exploration in elementary school age children.

Haptic exploration, or active touch, is a perceptual modality that has demonstrated therapeutic potential for elementary age children but is not commonly studied with this age group. The aim of this exploratory study was to discover the characteristics of haptic scanning that are associated with efficiency and accuracy in a shape matching task. The study tasks were designed to resemble common v...

Touch Inventory for Elementary-School-Aged Children.

The syndrome of tactile defensiveness, first described by Ayres in 1964, has undergone continued study as well as related theory development. No standardized assessment for tactile defensiveness, however, currently exists. This paper presents a 26-item screening scale, the Touch Inventory for Elementary-School-Aged Children (TIE), as well as its psychometric characteristics. Normative data and ...
