| Summary: | This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the developmental trends for Simultaneous and Sequential Information Processing and the developmental trends for Reading and Neurological Maturation, and if these trends are influenced by cultural/experiential background. Differences in Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children: Mental Processing trends (for Simultaneous and Sequential Processing) between North Coast B.C. Native Indian (Tsimshian) children and Non-Native children, as well as differences in the developmental trends for reading decoding and comprehension (B.C. QUIET: Word Identification and Passage Comprehension subtests, and K-ABC: Reading Understanding subtest), and neurological maturation (Grip Strength Test) were examined with a sample of 225 children ages 8-12. Since cultural/experiential background was proposed as a primary influence on the dependent variables, two samples of Native Indian children were used: one from isolated north coast B.C. villages and the other from the ... |
