In contrast, Laszlo and Bairstow (1984) assumed that
by the time the child can write, he or she has a fully
developed sense of visual shape discrimination. They argued
that kinesthetic perception, rather than visual perception,
contributes to ongoing error detection and correction
programming. This argument stems from the fact
that there is a temporal delay between programming the
movement to write the letter and actually seeing it on the
page.
Strauss and Kephan believed that visual per·
ception was used to give meaning to a pattern generated
by proprioceptive perception.
