Visual stress theory and its application to reading and reading tests |
|
| Authors: | Arnold Wilkins Jie Huang Yue Cao |
| Abstract: | This paper presents a theory of visual stress. The theory is applied to the assessment of symptoms of visual stress and its treatment with coloured filters. The theory has implications for standard reading assessments that relate both to the visual skills and the age of the children taking the tests. These implications are reviewed, with the conclusion that insufficient attention is paid to visual factors in reading, particularly in the design of reading tests. |
