Verbal, nonverbal, demographic, and eye-hand laterality measures were administered to a sample of 34 Navy recruits attending a remedial reading program and 53 recruits who were members of a regular recruit company. Verbal intelligence scores (as determined by the General Classification Test) differentiated best between the remediation and non-remediation groups. Race (being non-Caucasian) was a...

Performance and preference measures are commonly used in the assessment of visualization techniques. This is important and useful in understanding differences in effectiveness between different treatments. However, these measures do not answer how and why the differences are caused. And sometimes, performance measures alone may not be sensitive enough to detect differences. In this paper, we in...

The theoretical framework for this study is research in the areas of language testing andreading. and overview of language testing and current developments in language testing research,including factors that affect test performance and authentic assessment. Test type as the taskvariable, test-taking strategies and gender as the reader variable, and authenticity as the textvariable were selected...

Some research on developmental dyslexia focuses on linguistic abnormalities such as poor reading of nonwords or poor reading of exception words. Other research focuses on visual abnormalities such as poor performance on psychophysical tasks believed to assess the functioning of the magnocellular and parvocellular layers of the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN). Little is known about what the rel...

Little is known about the systematic impact of blur on reading performance. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of dioptric blur on reading performance in a group of normally sighted young adults. We measured monocular reading performance and visual acuity for 19 observers with normal vision, for five levels of optical blur (no-blur, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3D). Dioptric blur was induce...

introduction: it is assumed that working memory plays a pivotal role in carrying out all sorts of cognitive functions. the introduction of working memory software has provided researchers with an asset to investigate the differences among individuals which can be attributable to differences in working memory capacity. following the advent of working memory software, there were also other pieces...

This study investigated the effects of illumination conditions (lighting color and illumination intensity) and chromaticity contrast on reading performance with TFT-LCD screens. Results indicated that the illumination intensity and background color had significant effects on reading performance in experiment 1. In experiment 2, only text color significantly affected reading performance. However...
