Abstract
We administered the Stony Brook Videotest (SBV), a measure of reality perceptions of television programs and commercials, to 104 school-labeled learning-disabled (LD) children in self-contained classes and to 229 nonhandicapped elementary school children. The LD children scored significantly lower than the comparison group, even when IQ was controlled, indicating that LD children are less able to distinguish between reality and fantasy on television. The clinical implications of these findings and possible remedial actions are discussed.
