An experimental test battery was developed to measure the visual-perceptual development of normal and neurologically impaired children of elementary school age. The test battery was administered to 4 groups of 12 Ss, ranging from normal to impaired. The battery was sensitive and information processing ability, in terms of channel capacity, decreased as a function of impairment and early age.
