Tactile-perceptual functioning and academic performance in brain-impaired and unimpaired children
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether tactile perception is a useful predictor of academic performance. 50 control and 42 brain-impaired (epileptic) children were examined. Both groups showed a strong relationship between tactile perceptual integrity and academic achievement. Analyses of extreme groups indicated that academic performance is clearly ordered by tactile perceptual skill not only for children with documented brain impairment but also for a normal control group as well. The implications for additions to the traditional cognitively oriented psychological test battery were discussed.
