Sharan, Shlomo; Calfee, Robert – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1977
Six same-different matching tests, both verbal and nonverbal in three modalities along with a set of reading tests, were administered to 120 Israeli children in second, third and fourth grade. (MS)

Molholt, Garry – TESOL Quarterly, 1988
Describes how visual displays of their English speech patterns can be used to help native Chinese-speaking students to improve their English pronunciation. The distinct advantages of the technique over the more subjective teacher evaluations of students' pronunciation are discussed. (CB)

Wright, Suzette – Education of the Visually Handicapped, 1987
As there is uncertainty surrounding black light safety, caution should be exercised in using it as a vision training tool with visually handicapped students--particularly aphakic and albino students, young students, and those taking photosensitizing drugs. The use of ultraviolet-blocking filters or lenses is recommended during black light…

Hativa, Nira; Reingold, Aliza – Instructional Science, 1987
Effectiveness of two versions of computer software used as an electronic blackboard to present geometric concepts to ninth grade students was compared. The experimental version incorporated color, animation, and nonverbal sounds as stimuli; the no-stimulus version was monochrome. Both immediate and delayed learning were significantly better for…

Ireson, Judith; McGurk, Harry – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Malawian children and young adults displayed sensitivity to static information for depth when stimulus objects subtended equal visual angles. When the more distant object was larger but subtended a smaller visual angle than the nearer, subjects tended to base judgments on retinal size. Motion paralax information increased accuracy of judgments of…

Smith, Pauline – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1986
Examines traditional psychometric approaches to measuring intelligence and recent work by cognitive psychologists to develop a rationale for a non-verbal reasoning test for 10- to 11-year-olds. Recent studies providing basis for analyzing structure of test items are outlined, and benefits of analyzing items at a sub-type level are discussed.…

Whiteside, J. Alan – Journal of Visual/Verbal Languaging, 1986
This study investigated the use of word-visuals to aid university students' recall by examining relationships that exist among levels of learners' recall resulting from different presentation modes; between levels of field-dependent and field-independent learners' recall; and between levels of field-dependent and field-independent learners' recall…

Means, Barbara M.; Rohwer, William D., Jr. – Developmental Psychology, 1976
A total of 72 children, 36 each from first and sixth grades, were given a 70-item study list followed by a recognition test list of equal length. To indicate the relative dominance of features encoded at both ages, labels, pictures, and referents were recombined to form visual, semantic and acoustic distractors. (MS)

Curtis, Ronald; Najarian, John P. – 2000
When competing with mass media and other forms of information delivery, a verbal lecture does not have enough sensory impression. What students read in a passive framework is barely remembered, less so in pre-examination cramming. Weaker students have difficulties in reading, most notably with abstract and mathematical concepts. These problems are…

Sagi, Abraham – Journal of Experimental Education, 1980
The developmental course of children's automatic extraction of meaning from printed words is recharted by using a Stroop-type recall task. Results confirm that, after a year of practice with reading material, children do automatically extract meaning from a single printed word. (GK)

Sidtis, John J.; And Others – Science, 1981
Assesses the sensory and cognitive functions in a right-handed male before and after partial and complete callosal commissurotomy. (Author/SK)

Hughes, M. J. – Australian Journal of Mental Retardation, 1979
The relative ease of learning with Bliss symbols or words was investigated using four moderately retarded and four severely retarded children (ages 6 to 9 and 14 to 17, respectively) as Ss. It was found that Bliss symbols were the more easily learned and this was most evident among the severely retarded Ss. (Author/PHR)

Jonassen, David H. – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1979
Of particular interest in this study exploring a number of questions related to multi-image presentation of information and acquisition of a concept--e.g., classifying plants--was whether redundancy (i.e., additional positive examples) and an opportunity to view nonexamples as well as examples would be helpful to seventh-grade students.…

Perelle, Ira B. – Journal of Psychology, 1979
In a study of attending behavior during the crossover period (12-13 years), when preferences shift from auditory to visual stimuli, females switched their preferences significantly earlier than did males. Besides biological factors, these sex differenes were attributed to differential conditioning of attitudes, reinforcement, and discrimination…

Sorce, James F. – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1979
Investigates Black and White children's development of the concept of race, the visual cues each group uses to distinguish races and the relation of children's racial awareness to their residence in an integrated or segregated community. (BH)
