title: Verbal/visual processing for males disabled in print acquisition.
abstract: Fourteen males disabled in print acquisition were studied over time to determine their patterns of verbal and spatial processing. Comparing results of WISC-R and WAIS scales using a Bonferroni correction for t-values, it was found that the Similarities subtest scores significantly increased while the Vocabulary subtest scores and Acquired Knowledge category significantly decreased. Hemispheric specialization was suggested as a possible cause for differences in verbal and nonverbal processing.
