Abstract
It is a matter of public record that the present system for educating Indian children attending de facto segregated Indian schools has failed to serve Indian schoolchildrens’ needs as evidenced by low academic achievement levels, accelerating over-age in grade level, and high drop-nut rates. This may be due in part to lack of knowledge regarding the cognitive strengths and learning styles of Indian children, although much appears in the literature regarding their weaknesses as associated with school readiness and academic accomplishment. This study attacks the problem by attempting to determine if a significant difference is demonstrated between Indian and Caucasian population samples on visual perception and recall tasks associated with cognitive function in keeping with two general hypotheses.
