title: Preliminary investigation into the Rorschach response patterns of children with documented learning disabilities.
abstract: Since the introduction of the Rorschach Inkblot Test, no normative data have been obtained on learning-disabled (LD) children. Indeed, there is little or no mention in the Rorschach literature on differences in perceptual accuracy, Self-concept and reaction to emotion-laden stimuli of LD children as compared with non-patient, withdrawn, and behavior-problem children. This study with a relatively small N of 20 compares the LD child with Exner (1978) norms on non-patient, withdrawn, and behavior-problem children. The findings show clearly differences in perceptual accuracy, affective ratio, egocentricity index, and reaction to emotion-laden stimuli.
