Visual-Field Restrictions in Cases of Reading Disability

Abstract: 23 children who were attending a summer camp for children with learning disabilities and who demonstrated a reading disability at least one grade level below that expected on the basis of chronological age were selected for study. Peripheral visual-field limits were tested for both nasal and temporal fields in both eyes. Testing also took place for central visual field deficits.With very few exceptions the visual field limits were in the range of the accepted norm. 10 randomly selected Ss were retested and the… Show more

“…It is now possible to reject, with a fair degree of certainty, several proposed explanations of reading disability in otherwise healthy and intelligent children. For instance, reading disability is not related to basic visual-perceptual discrimination (Vellutino, Steger, Harding, & Phillips, 1975), non-verbal paired associates learning (Vellutino, Steger, Kamen, & De Setto, 1975), cerebral dominance for auditory linguistic processing (McKeever & Van Deventer, 1975), developmental delay in lateralization (Kershner, 1978), sensory integration skills (Rudel & Denckla, 1976), peripheral visual field restrictions (Rubino & Minden, 1971), or memory capacity for the semantic and syntactic encodings of reading material (Kolers, 1975).…”
