Abstract: | Gestalt imagery—the ability to create imaged wholes—is a critical factor in oral and written language comprehension. Despite
good decoding, good vocabulary, and adequate background experiences, many individuals experience weak gestalt imagery, thus
processing “parts” rather than “wholes,” from verbal stimuli, spoken or written. This contributes to a Language Comprehension
Disorder that may be accompanied by a commonality of symptoms: weak reading comprehension, weak oral language comprehension,
weak oral language expression, weak written language expression, difficulty following directions, and a weak sense of humor.
Sequential stimulation using an inquiry technique develops gestalt imagery and results in significant improvement in reading
comprehension. |
