    (Saraswati Central Library, 2012-03-29) Balaram, Pradhan
    The two-fold process in the Cyclic Meditation (CM) namely concentration as stimulation to break the stagnation of mind and sustained attention to calm down the distraction of the mind helps in the growth of practitioners. Six Letter Cancellation for the first and Digit Letter Substitution test for the second are apt tools to their measures. No normality tools were available for Indian Students as also data related to use of CM for students. Hence, this study was taken up.

    Normative data for the letter-cancellation task in school children
    (International Journal of Yoga,, 2008) Balaram, Pradhan; Nagendra H.R.
    Aims: To establish the norms for the letter-cancellation task—a psychomotor performance task. Materials and Methods: Eight hundred nineteen school students were selected in the present study in an age range between nine and 16 years (M = 12.14; SD = 1.78 years). Subjects were assessed once for the cancellation task. Results: Both age and sex infl uenced performance on the SLCT; therefore, correction scores were obtained on the basis of these factors. Conclusions: The availability of Indian normative data for the SLCT will allow wider application of this test in clinical practice.
