Percept Mot Skills. 1979 Dec;49(3):971-8. doi: 10.2466/pms.1979.49.3.971.

Abstract

The responses on the Slingerland tests of 29 learning disabled and 11 nondisabled children in Grade 1 distinguished the two groups, except for copying (near vision). Copying (far vision) and auditory, visual, and kinesthetic perception and discrimination together were the strongest predictors of group membership.
