Abstract
Learning disabilities have lacked adequate etiological definition. The Canter Background Interference Procedure of the Bender Gestalt Test and the Quick Neurological Screening Test were found to discriminate neurological/organic signs in an adolescent learning disabled population. Up to this time there has been a paucity of adequate, relatively brief objective measures of organicity in this age range. Methodological problems, research needs, and implications for the use of these tests are discussed.Keywords
