Results – Leslie, Davidson, and Batey (1985)
The subjects in this study consisted of 46 males between the ages of 9 and 12 years, one-half of which the reading disabled with the mean age of 11.25 years and half of which were normal readers with a mean average of 11.16 years. All subjects came from school districts in Westchester, New York. This study found that disabled readers perform comparably to normal controls on the bimanual test of the Purdue Pegboard but did significantly poorer in the unimanual conditions with the largest differences occurring in the left hand. Appendix F, Figure 1-3 illustrates these findings.
