Hydrocephalic, dyseidetic dyslexic, and low average regular class children: intellectual, visual-perception, and spatial reasoning performance.
Hydrocephalic children typically show lower nonverbal than verbal intellectual abilities visual deficits, and muscle incoordination One subgroup of learning disabled children, dyserdetic dyslexics, have the same relative nonverbal weakness, but not the other associated deficits The present investiga...
