Berg, Thomas – Journal of Child Language, 1992
Investigates an aspect of child phonology and consonant harmony, and inquires whether representational or processing deficits are responsible for its occurrence. (36 references) (GLR)

Hewlett, Nigel; Waters, Daphne – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2004
The prevailing view of phonological development is that changes in pronunciation are driven by phonological changes. This view (it is argued here) derives from the particular form of the data that has most often been used in studies of phonological development, namely broad phonetic transcriptions. Transcribing an earlier pronunciation with one…

Quinn, Anna – English Journal, 2005
Anna Quinn, an English teacher, describes her use of dramatic activities for interpreting texts along with other techniques to help improve college reading skills. Students have demonstrated measurable increases in reading levels by using drama to fill textual gaps, charades to increase vocabulary, blending into the characters, predicting the…

Iverson, Jana M.; Wozniak, Robert H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2007
In this study we examined early motor, vocal, and communicative development in a group of younger siblings of children diagnosed with autism (Infant Siblings). Infant Siblings and no-risk comparison later-born infants were videotaped at home with a primary caregiver each month from 5 to 14 months, with follow-up at 18 months. As a group, Infant…

Keohane, Dolleen-Day; Luke, Nicole; Greer, R. Douglas – Journal of Early and Intensive Behavior Intervention, 2008
We tested the effect of a Rotated Protocol Immersion package on the emergence of observing responses as prerequisites for more complex verbal developmental capabilities. Three elementary aged students between the ages of 6 and 7 participated. They were diagnosed with autism spectrum disabilities. The treatment condition consisted of total…

IRELAND, VIRGINIA – 1966
A METHOD OF VOCABULARY STUDY USED AS A TOOL RATHER THAN AS A COMPLETE VOCABULARY PROGRAM HELPS STUDENTS INVESTIGATE ANY WORD AND HELPS CLARIFY KEY OR DIFFICULT WORDS IN AN ASSIGNMENT. THE SEMANTIC LEVELS OF DEFINITION-MAKING ARE EXPLAINED AND ILLUSTRATED BY THE TEACHER'S ASKING THE STUDENTS WHAT CLASS OF THINGS A CERTAIN WORD STANDS FOR AND HOW…

Petrie, Hugh G. – 1969
This report attempts to determine to what extent the thesis that observation is theory-dependent holds in the area of verbal learning theory. This area was chosen because: (1) a philosophical criticism of verbal learning theory will contribute to the difficult task of investigating the border area between philosophy and psychology; and (2) no one…

Holliday, William G. – AV Communication Review, 1976
A discussion of the recent diagram and attention theory and research surprisingly suggests that a single flow diagram with instructive questions constitutes an effective learning medium in terms of verbal chaining. (Author)

Hiscock, Merrill; Kinsbourne, Marcel – Developmental Psychology, 1977
Forty-two right-handed preschool children listened to dichotic presentations of digit names and were told to report only the digit arriving at the designated ear. A significant right-ear superiority was found, demonstrating a left lateralization of verbal processing in children as young as three years of age. (Author/JMB)

Murry, Thomas; And Others – Journal of Child Language, 1977
The fundamental frequencies (Fo) of infant cries were analyzed to determine if mean cry Fo differed as a function of the infant's sex or due to the stimulus evoking the cry. Results indicate no significant differences in either; however, males exhibited a tendency to have higher mean Fo. (Author/KM)

Gathercole, Virginia C. – Journal of Child Language, 1985
Describes a study designed to discover how children approach the mass-count distinction as it applies to the use of "much" and "many." Results indicate that children do not approach the co-occurrence conditions of "much" and "many" with various nouns from a semantic point of view, but rather from a…

Forehand, Rex; Gardner, Harold L. – Journal of Psychology, 1973
Examines the effects of chronological age, mental age, and intelligence quotient on verbal imitation of five-year-old children, concluding that transition occurs during the fifth year of life as young five-year-olds emitted more mimical and less conceptual responses than older five-year-olds. (RB)
Descriptors: Child Language, Cognitive Processes, Imitation, Language Research
Gagne, Robert M. – Interchange, 1972
It is suggested that generalizations about critical learning conditions and outcomes can be made within categories of learning processes but not across them. Implications of this proposition are examined. (Author/MM)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Intellectual Development, Learning, Learning Processes

Probst, Robert E. – English Journal, 1972
Correlation of a film to a work of literature helps students develop greater sensitivity to each, and a sharper awareness of the relationship between the two. (Author)

Zimmerman, Woodford W. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1971
The study tried to determine if aural music stimuli and development of verbal-descriptive skills is related to specific kinds of music experience. (MF)
