Motivation and visual factors : individual studies of college students / by Irving E. Bender, Henry A. Imus, John W.M. Rothney, Camilla Kemple, Mary R. England.

• Introduction -- Psychological studies and visual conditions -- A description of data and the methods of investigation -- Methods of studying and presenting the cases -- Presentation of cases according to visual classification -- Summary and general conclusions.

• "The investigation of visual factors and personality has been sponsored and supported by The Dartmouth Eye Institute. Within recent years, the work of this institution, which has been chiefly physiological in nature, has been expanded to include studies of the functional disturbances of vision and their effect upon space perception, reading and personal development. By this process of evolutionary growth, the scope of the work has broadened from purely theoretical knowledge to the most practical applications of physiological optics. The present report contains detailed presentations of the motivational patterns of twenty college students under various visual classifications in order to show the relevance of the visual factor in the light of the total personality. For each case, there are presented a summary of scholastic, social and general background data, a visual summary, a psycho-portrait of the student and, finally, a brief discussion of the role of the visual factor in view of the motivational structure of the individual"--Foreword.
