  • Title: Effects of figure-ground reversal on the visual-perceptual and visuo-motor performances of cerebral palsied and normal children.
    Author: Marozas DS, May DC.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1985 Apr; 60(2):591-8. PubMed ID: 4000879.
    Abstract:
    Individuals with brain damage often encounter visual perceptual and visuo-motor difficulties. Studies have indicated an improvement in exceptional individuals' performances when the colors of figure-ground materials were reversed. Effects of reversals were studied for spastic cerebral palsied and normal children's scores on the Developmental Test of Visual-motor Integration and the Motor-free Visual Perception Test. Normal children performed better than the cerebral palsied children on all tests; the cerebral palsied children performed best on the reversed-format Motor-free Visual Perception Test. Reversal affected neither group's scores on visual-motor integration.
