Lockavitch, Joseph F., Jr. – Academic Therapy, 1981
A teacher describes ways in which learning disabled students can learn through tactile-kinesthetic approaches devised by the teacher. Examples are given of multiplication instruction by counting on fingers, and grammar and long division instruction through movement. (CL)

Goldberg, Joshua – School Arts, 1982
Describes a museum exhibit of Japanese art designed to enhance tactual awareness. Blind and sighted visitors cooperated in sharing their hands-on perceptions of objects. Display pieces, chosen for functionality and design interest, included ceramics, textiles, folk art, lacquer work, musical instruments, and household objects. (AM)

Etaugh, Claire; Levy, Rhonda B. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Witelson found that boys but not girls showed right-hemisphere specialization for tactile-spatial processing as early as six years. Witelson's task was administered to 46 normal four- and five-year olds. Both sexes showed right-hemisphere specialization. No sex differences appeared either in specialization or in overall performance. (Author/SJL)

Soroka, Sherri MacKay; And Others – Child Development, 1979
Forty 10-month-old infants were given two minutes to explore tactually an object in a totally darkened room. Subsequently, during a two-minute test trial in the dark, 10 infants were given the same object and 10 were given a novel shape. Novel shapes were manipulated significantly longer than familiar forms. (RH)

Duffy, Rosaline Ann – Journal of Educational Research, 1979
Aesthetic sensitivity is present in children to varying degrees, but creativity emerges and develops with intelligent assessment of aesthetic experiences. (JD)
Descriptors: Aesthetic Education, Child Development, Cognitive Processes, Creativity

Ross, Charles – Journal of Epsilon Pi Tau, 1988
Discusses haptic learning, problems related to teaching students with that learning style, and methods that have been used to mediate these problems. (JOW)

Kaitz, Marsha; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1992
In 2 experiments, mothers, between 5 and 81 hours after giving birth, stroked the hand of 3 infants and then guessed which infant was their own. Results showed that the majority of mothers who had been with their infant for an hour or more since childbirth were successful at the task. (BC)

Plain-Switzer, Karen – International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 1993
This article presents a model for the motion of a long-cane executing the touch technique and presents formulas for the projected length of a cane adequate to protect an individual with blindness against wall-type and pole-type hazards. The paper concludes that the long-cane should reach from the floor to the user's armpit. (JDD)

Rahayu, Sri; Tytler, Russell – Research in Science Education, 1999
Explores children's conceptions of burning through observation and discussion of a number of challenging phenomenon. Finds that children's conceptions are both specific and contextually based. (Author/CCM)

Amazeen, Eric L.; DaSilva, Flavio – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
Research has suggested that perception and action are independent (see M. A. Goodale & A. Haffenden, 1998). The authors used the Ebbinghaus illusion to test this hypothesis in 2 experiments. Verbal reports of perceived size were compared with maximum grip aperture during grasping (Experiment 1) and manual reports of perceived size (Experiment 2).…

McLinden, Mike – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 2004
This study of the haptic exploratory strategies used by nine children with visual impairments and additional disabilities when interacting with portable and freely manipulable objects found that a broader approach to assessment and analysis is required than is used with typically developing children. An "adaptive-tasks" approach is proposed as a…

Scheiner, Ricarda; Kuritz-Kaiser, Anthea; Menzel, Randolf; Erber, Joachim – Learning & Memory, 2005
In tactile learning, sucrose is the unconditioned stimulus and reward, which is usually applied to the antenna to elicit proboscis extension and which the bee can drink when it is subsequently applied to the extended proboscis. The conditioned stimulus is a tactile object that the bee can scan with its antennae. In this paper we describe the…

Dulin, David – European Journal of Special Needs Education, 2007
In their specialized schooling, blind children are now frequently presented with raised line figures and maps. However, there is still much to do in evaluating the cognitive effects of training using these displays. The purpose of this research is to determine if the level of expertise in the haptic exploration, and the perception of the raised…

Myles, Brenda Smith; Grossman, Barry G.; Aspy, Ruth; Henry, Shawn A.; Coffin, Amy Bixler – Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities, 2007
This article outlines two compatible models of planning and implementing programs for students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The Ziggurat Model begins the process with an assessment of student strengths and concerns related specifically to ASD and identifies interventions across five tiers that match these strengths and concerns: (a)…

Kern, Janet K.; Trivedi, Madhukar H.; Grannemann, Bruce D.; Garver, Carolyn R.; Johnson, Danny G.; Andrews, Alonzo A.; Savla, Jayshree S.; Mehta, Jyutika A.; Schroeder, Jennifer L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research & Practice, 2007
This study examined the relationship between auditory, visual, touch, and oral sensory dysfunction in autism and their relationship to multisensory dysfunction and severity of autism. The Sensory Profile was completed on 104 persons with a diagnosis of autism, 3 to 56 years of age. Analysis showed a significant correlation between the different…
