Abstract

60 children were shown 45 pairs of cartoons with the task of searching through the first cartoon and detecting which sequence of colors, geometrical patterns, or letters had the same couple of elements drawn in the second cartoon. Older children and those who were able to read performed better. The results' confirm the hypothesis that the development of some visual skills is a by-product of learning to read.
