Accomplishments during young adulthood of children originally diagnosed with minimal cerebral dysfunction: a ten-year follow-up study.

To gather data about the adult accomplishments of persons diagnosed with minimal cerebral dysfunction this retrospective study evaluated 57 subjects at ten-year follow-up. Two-thirds of the subjects graduated from high school with an average of 11.8 years of education. Factors correlating with educational outcome included intelligence quotient, age at initial evaluation, and parental socioeconomic status. Adult accomplishments appear related to intelligence and to the presence of family or behavior problems.

Visual imagery: joining images to create new shapes of varying complexity.

36 volunteers were randomly assigned to three experimental conditions following successful completion of a custom designed vividness of imagery pretest. They were timed on the task of completing a visual image created by joining together visual shapes functioning like "puzzle pieces." A significant linear relationship between difficulty and time to perform operations was found; men and women performed similarly.
