摘要: Purpose. Controversy exists regarding the relation between visual memory and academic achievement. Methods. A masked investigation of academics was performed in 155 second- through fourth-grade children (mean age 8.83 years). Visual ability assessed with Test Perceptual Skills subtest. The school administered Otis-Lennon School Ability Stanford Achievement Test. Age verbal were controlled all regression analyses. Results. score significantly predictive below-average word decoding (p 0.027), total math 0.031), complete battery 0.018). showed a positive trend predicting reading comprehension 0.093). Conclusions. Poor (as measured by Skills) is related to decoding, math, overall achievement Test) children, while controlling for ability. (Optom Vis Sci 2002;79:431-434)
