Young Children's Orientation of Letters as a Function of Axis of Symmetry and Stimulus Alignment
The effects of axis of symmetry and relative position of stimuli were examined by means of a letter-orientation task administered to 60 children 4, 5, and 6 years of age. Subject variables examined were age and eye-hand dominance (mixed vs. unilateral established). Left-right awareness and knowledge...

| description | The effects of axis of symmetry and relative position of stimuli were examined by means of a letter-orientation task administered to 60 children 4, 5, and 6 years of age. Subject variables examined were age and eye-hand dominance (mixed vs. unilateral established). Left-right awareness and knowledge of names of stimulus letters were found to correlate with error scores. Significant effects were found for age, axis, axis X age, axis X position, and age X axis X position. The results were discussed in terms of implications for reading. |
