Budoff, Milton – 1970
A discussion of learning potential among educable retardates reflects the author's findings that some solved difficult problems on the Kohs block designs, some did not do well at first but improved after coaching, and some did not do well before or after coaching. Additional studies of these highscorers, gainers, and nongainers are cited which…

Galenson, Eleanor; And Others – 1969
The play behavior of young children is viewed as a behavioral manifestation of nonverbal thinking. Discussed are issues of relevance to the understanding of the development of thought in general and of the symbolic function in particular. A line of development is proposed which leads from early nonverbal thought as manifested in play, either…

Lewicki, Pawel; And Others – Cognitive Psychology, 1988
Introspective experiences that nine University of Tulsa (Oklahoma) faculty members (aged 29-52 years) have when acquiring cognitive skills without awareness were studied as they acquired nonconscious knowledge about a pattern of stimuli. Nonconsciously acquired knowledge was automatically used to facilitate performance, without conscious…

The Relationship of Non-Verbal Intelligence Measures to Academic Achievement among Deaf Adolescents.
Paal, Nicholaus; And Others – Journal of Rehabilitation of the Deaf, 1988
The study examined the correlations between academic achievement and scores on the Hiskey-Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitude, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) Performance Scale, with 35 deaf high school students. Results validated the use of the WAIS-R as a predictor of academic achievement for this population. (DB)

Marcell, Michael M.; Jett, DeLille A. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1985
Nonretarded trainable retarded and mildly retarded individuals (N=106), matched on MA, attempted to identify emotional states of tape-recorded voices speaking in an unfamiliar language. Although analyses indicated that trainable subjects were less accurate overall than were mildly retarded and nonretarded subjects, all three groups were able to…

Kamhi, Alan G.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1990
Content analysis of the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale and the Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (TONI) revealed differences in the nature of perceptual and conceptual items. Both language-impaired and normal-language children performed significantly better on perceptual-type than conceptual-type items. The predominance of perceptual items was…

Fletcher, Kathryn L.; Bray, Norman W. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1995
Comparison of external memory strategies in 31 children (ages 11 and 17) with mild mental retardation and 64 children without mental retardation found no differences between children with mental retardation and their age peers in frequency of use of object-oriented strategies. For all groups, external strategies were used more frequently than…

Booth, Gregory D.; Cutietta, Robert A. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1991
Presents results of a test of nonmusic majors' ability to remember song titles. Suggests that, although the process of categorization seems to be a basic function of perception, appropriate categorization needs to be learned. Supports the view that music learning, like verbal learning, involves a categorization of stimuli based on holistic…

Cattarelli, Martine; Dardou, David; Datiche, Frederique – Learning & Memory, 2006
When an odor is paired with a delayed illness, rats acquire a relatively weak odor aversion. In contrast, rats develop a strong aversion to an olfactory cue paired with delayed illness if it is presented simultaneously with a gustatory cue. Such a conditioning effect has been referred to as taste-potentiated odor aversion learning (TPOA). TPOA is…

Davis, Michael; Myers, Karyn M.; Ressler, Kerry J. – Learning & Memory, 2006
Fear extinction is defined as a decline in conditioned fear responses (CRs) following nonreinforced exposure to a feared conditioned stimulus (CS). Behavioral evidence indicates that extinction is a form of inhibitory learning: Extinguished fear responses reappear with the passage of time (spontaneous recovery), a shift of context (renewal), and…

Dent, Cathy H.; And Others – 1982
The relationship was explored between the ability to understand nonverbal metaphoric similarity and the ability to produce verbal metaphors to talk about that similarity. Subjects, 45 college students, were shown filmed scenes that depicted both metaphoric and literal similarity. Half of the scenes were of stationary objects and half of moving…

Bluth, B. J. – Teaching Sociology, 1975
Treatment of theory as an analytic tool, translation of the structure of a theory into nonverbal media, and utilization of projects for the application of a theory to elicit consequences for evaluation can be used to enable students to learn sociological theory in a classroom setting by means of experience.
