“…One of the most important properties of visual attention is the ability to allocate resources to a particular spatial region of a visual display. Evidence from visual search experiments (Spitz, 1966) and from tachistoscopic recognition experiments (Winters & Gerjuoy, 1967) suggests that retardates do not scan material as efficiently as matched chronological age normals. Their approach to visual scanning is less patterned and less methodologically sequential.…”

Down's syndrome and non-Down's syndrome subjects, matched for mental and chronological age, were compared on a drawing task. The stimulus shape had to be remembered and reproduced after either multimodal visual-kinaesthetic stimulation or unimodal visual or kinaesthetic input only. Drawing took place either with or without visual guidance of the drawing hand. Drawing skill was assessed according to the dimensions of shape, size and orientation as well as movement control.It was found that in general the presence of visual input information was more helpful for those without than for those with Down's syndrome in shape approximation. In contrast, Down's syndrome subjects tended to make better use of kinaesthetically derived information, especially in regard to orientation and movement control. 0261-510X/83/040317-11 S02.00/0 0 1983 The British Psychological Society Development.
