Binocular vision section.

Abstract

The participants at the 1991 Meetings of the Section on Binocular Vision and Perception presented a substantial amount of valuable theoretical and clinical information. There was considerable and valuable interaction between the audience and panel, especially after the symposium concerned with new techniques and how to use them. The exchange of specialized knowledge through discussions at symposiums such as these represents one of the best features of Academy meetings. These symposiums reemphasize and remind us of the expertise of our Academy members in management of binocular vision anomalies.

Speech perception in adult subjects with familial dyslexia.

Speech perception was investigated in a carefully selected group of adult subjects with familial dyslexia. Perception of three synthetic speech continua was studied: /a/-/e/, in which steady-state spectral cues distinguished the vowel stimuli; /ba/-/da/, in which rapidly changing spectral cues were varied; and /sta/-/sa/, in which a temporal cue, silence duration, was systematically varied. These three continua, which differed with respect to the nature of the acoustic cues discriminating between pairs, were used to assess subjects' abilities to use steady state, dynamic, and temporal cues. Dyslexic and normal readers participated in one identification and two discrimination tasks for each continuum. Results suggest that dyslexic readers required greater silence duration than normal readers to shift their perception from /sa/ to /sta/. In addition, although the dyslexic subjects were able to label and discriminate the synthetic speech continua, they did not necessarily use the acoustic cues in the same manner as normal readers, and their overall performance was generally less accurate.
