Abstract

The Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) was administered to 15 children with learning difficulties, ranging from 6 through 8 years of age, who had questionable brain disorder as a result of a history of a serious illness or trauma involving possible brain injury. A comparable group of 15 children with learning difficulties but with no such history of possible brain disorder was employed. Results of t tests revealed that the performance of young children with questionable brain disorders was inferior to those of young children with no brain disorder on all 11 ITPA subtests. The effects of brain disorder on visually mediated functions are discussed along with previous similar and conflicting data.
