Relation of auditory-visual integration to reading and intelligence.
The relation of auditory-visual integration to intelligence and reading achievement was studied in a sample of 165 fifth-grade boys and girls by means of (a) a test to match visual dot patterns to tape-recorded tones (b) a nonverbal intelligence test, and (c) a test of reading comprehension. Results showed that auditory-visual integrative ability was significantly related to intelligence and reading achievement. With the effects of intelligence controlled, intersensory transfer remained a significant predictor of reading achievement.
