Under 'Learning Disability', which specific learning disorder or symptom complex was highlighted by psychologists Kurt Goldstein and later A.A. Strauss and Lehtinen during their study of brain-injured children, in which the child is unable to distinguish between the background and the figure and is easily distracted by complex stimuli?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
In the study of child development and exceptional children, the works of Kurt Goldstein, A.A. Strauss, and Lehtinen (1947) hold special significance. While studying the behavior of 'brain-injured children', they found that such children exhibit a severe problem in 'Figure-Ground Perception', which is also known as Strauss Syndrome. A child suffering from this disorder fails to differentiate between the main figure and its background in any visual or auditory stimulus, making them highly distractible.
